The first step of bone remodeling is the deposition of new bone cell to the destroyed portion. This is for maintenance of healthy bones

For a strong healthy body you have to take exercise regularly. This will replace unhealthy bone cell.

If you dont use your bone for support weight it will result of bone loss.. this is a situation of called lose it..
