After years of hearing about bone loss in seniors it was surprising to read that there are actually bones that continue to grow even as we age though that isn't necessarily good news since the bones that keep growing are in the skull and the pelvis. The forehead becomes more prominent and the cheekbones recede both of which serve to highlight wrinkles and sagging skin. The pelvis grows about an inch from the time a body is 20 until it reaches the 70s which adds around 3 inches to your waist so a body is fighting more than just metabolism. Not exactly a good news Friday post!
