Um,

Wait, really?

Your bones?

Yeah, like exercise, like strength training.

That's part of why women deal with bone density loss as they age and are often advised, that's why strength training is so important.

It's why male or female, as you age, one of the biggest factors on whether or not you maintain mobility and independence is whether or not you do strength training.

Because in part, it keeps your bones strong, which makes you much likelier to break them as you get older.

Right.

So from that actual science, they take, well, then obviously, if like working out over time and eating right makes my bones stronger, I can just bash my face with a mallet and my jawbone will get bigger.

Right.

And you just keep doing it.

And like the way that some of them describe it is almost like Gua Sha, where like you're just like kind of like going all over your jaw, which is fucking crazy.

Like, guys, what are we doing?

Don't don't don't do it.

Don't do that.

I'm not even a doctor, but I can tell you not to do that.

Absolutely not.

And there's a good article in The Conversation on bone smashing, bone smashing, broken bones, tooth loss, and blood vessel damage are just a few of the harms of this bizarre tick doctrine.

And I want to read a brief quote from that.

There's no evidence that repeated blows to the face alter bone structure in humans.
