2020 weekly - week 6

02/02/2020, Sunday

Greek-inspired lemon cod
Ratatouille
Beef chickpea stew, sauteed spinach
Mushroom pasta bake
Cocoa chocolate cake (this is a great recipe, easy to work and with light crumb. I don't bother with the icing and scatter some chopped chocolate on the cake top when it's out of the oven)

Wolff's law: Bone will adapt to the loads under which it is placed. It goes either way. The stronger the load, the stronger the bone. The weaker the stress, the smaller the bone.

That's why healthy people need load bearing exercises and injured ones need physiotherapy to introduce load bearing, to improve bone density.

Similar law exists for soft tissues, called Davis's law.

Isn't human body marvelous?
