Ever had the chance to come across anyone who boasts that they have never broken a bone in their life? Well, the fact that people do break bones—we have seen ourselves, family or friends—may explain it. However, there has been a doctor lately who has come up with a very interesting theory which is quite contrary to the above-said notion, saying that those individuals might have occurred as different creatures from the rest of us.
The Unbreakables: A Medical Anomaly?
Dr. Karan Raj, a surgeon with the NHS and a medical instructor, presented a thought-provoking opinion about people who have never had broken bones through a TikTok video, which has now become viral. According to him, they might possess “a different biology to the rest of us.”
Watch the video and let’s see what topics will be covered! First of all, Dr. Raj asks a question, “Is it just luck, or is there something else going on?” Then he provides a list of explanations for the same topic.
Possible Explanations
Here are some of the views of Dr. Karan Raj on the topic of the human body:
- Genetic Determinants – Some of the individuals are just endowed with genetically tough bones which allow them to get many fewer fractures.
- Matchless Balance – Some of the people, who are the cream of the crop for the reflexes and balance they exemplify, can avoid accidents, and it is these accidents that may cause fractures.
- Cautious Behavior – Those that are careful or less active physically may just get a peep into the chances of bones not getting any injuries.
- What one Eats – A diet full of calcium, vitamin D, and the like on a daily basis all during the life of a person to strengthen the bones may also help in a way.
- Bone Remodeling Efficiency – In various bodies, micro-damages can go through a self-repair process more suitably which in result becomes a natural protection from a serious fracture.”
The “Unbreakable” Craze in Pop Culture
The conception of “unbreakable” characters has not merely been something that exists solely in medical science, as it has even gone a step further by being one of the motivating factors behind the making of the movie Unbreakable (2000), where a man finds out that he has never been hurt. Admittedly, real life is less dramatic, however, the theory of Dr. Raj has caused a lot of controversy in the online world.
Is There Any Reason for Concern If You Have Never Had and Bone?
It might be a sign of strong bones, but not entirely. Dr. Raj warns that this situation is not to be taken as an absolute certainty because of other related factors, such as your age, certain conditions such as osteoporosis, and your way of lif,e that need to be taken into account for your bones to keep in good shape permanently.
Last Words
Being a member of the “unbreakable” club or a person with a history of fractures, is not the issue here. The main thing is that your bone health is always of paramount importance. Regular exercises, a balanced diet, as well as some safety precaution,s will not only be of help but kind of a guarantee that your skeleton will be strong and healthy no matter you are in whichever category.
