The point is bones are protected by hormone. I think there are so close relations between women’s hormone and bone health. Not only bone and women’s hormone is closely related, it is very close to “aging” itself.

In our traditional medicine, we look at our “life essence energy” we are born with, which contains one third of life energy to sustain our life, and the life essence energy resides in the bone-bone marrow. Isn’t that interesting? Did our ancient traditional doctors know about hemopoiesis, mineral homeostasis and so on without microscope? (I believe certainly what they meant long ago is actually more than those things.)——How can they define it a couple thousand years ago already? One more interesting thing is Omega 3 essential fatty acid! You see yellow bone marrow consists primarily of adipocytes and one of the bone’s functions is storing triglyceride. Once I wrote a long ~ comment about women’s cycle and Omega 3, right? I thought If we connect dots,
” bone health-Omega3-hormone” we can get to somewhere enormously beneficial to overall health and to longevity. It’s a topic bringing up so vast context including deeper and exciting possibility, I just don’t know how to begin. Maybe it might be related to the ability of triglycerides or phospholipids to move in and out of our body at the cellular level, where protein or amino acids cannot go. Maybe it’s because of anti-inflammatory ability or balancing hormone levels or maybe it’s because of its relations with the balance of immune cells and….more….

Those trendy exercise from ancient Asia, QiKung-Kigong,-gigong-chigong, ( different pronunciation, Chinese, Korean, Japanese. but same thing.), Taichi, Yoga, Taekwundo, these exercise are partially to build the health of bone, actually, life essence inside of bone-bone marrow. especially “Gigong” strengthen the bones,( when I say bone here it is not just “bone” like a stick of bone that dogs love to chew or hold onto. It’s bone health including all those things you mentioned on your post and all those chemical reactions, diffusion, infusion whatever it is called with all those participants including inorganic molecules.) Somehow this exercise make not only the bones to be very flexible and strengthen, filled with healthy nutrients but reviving the life essence we born with and seems us to lead to longevity.

After all, myth tells immortals in deep mountains in Korea or China had this special exercise, chigong, gigong……..

My point is not about these exercise.point 1: bone health-Omega 3 (and other nutrients—or it can be anti-inflammatories (?))

point 2: bone health- longevity-ancient Asian exercise—–to facilitate to the bone health..is that for facilitating all those balanced hormonal levels ?

point3: Omega 3 and other anti-inflammatory diet-balance of women’s hormone and health-bone health-longevity. (ex. natto is not only good for bones but good for menopose and balance of women’s hormones, estrogen levels.)

point4: meeting point between the wisdom from Far East and anti-inflammatory lifestyle, Dr. Perricone’s approach and to longevity.

A lot to explore. One thing clear is that at least, in East Asian traditional medicine and this secret exercise inherent generation to generation or master to a student for thousands years in deep mountain through Daoism (Taoism) and Buddhism monks has been identified and believed bone health is a path to longevity. And if I say whole traditional medicine is built on this concept as a begin, residence of life essence, chi energy wouldn’t be exaggerated.

Here, I applaud you, Dr. Perricone, your new opening chapter of the mystery and its secret to longevity with new weapons, western medicine and your open mind and constant search for answers.

I hope you will give us more insight of my above dots. I understand these things as a philosophy and you understand it as a science. You can expand our understandings.

Thank you, always.
