Doctor speaks out on three bizarre theories about people who have 'never broken a bone'

A doctor has weighed in on the three non-medical theories that someone has never broken a bone.

Unless you're a member of Jackass, I don't think anyone actively tries to break their bones.

Of course, there are things you can do to increase your chances of causing serious injury such as broken bones, you know, like standing in front of a raging bull while trying to perform a magic trick (not naming any names, Johnny Knoxville).

Aside from steering clear of doing Jackass-like stunts, there are three theories that are rumored to be the reason you've never had a broken bone.

The first is 'spiritual protection'. According to TikTok creator who goes by the name of Sara's Weird World, there's 'a spiritual reason' why somebody may have never broken a bone.

"That's because they are protected by spiritual protection. Almost untouchable in a weird sense. Protected by the higher powers," she went on to divulge.

There's also the theory of someone having good karma which supposedly 'protects the individuals from coming to any harm'.

The third and final theory is that past life experiences may play a part in your life as it is now.

Sara explained: "It is said that those people in this life who have never broken a bone may have experienced significant trauma in a past life. So, the theory suggests that they are being spared from having similar experiences in this life."

Medical professional Dr Suhail Hussain and the Royal Osteoporosis Society have since weighed in on these unusual theories.

Speaking to our good friends over at LADbible, Dr Hussain shared that the likelihood of your breaking a bone is 'not all random or down to divine protection'.

"[It's] a mix of your genes, lifestyle, and even what you eat could be making your bones weaker or stronger," he explained.

For example, the strength of your bones can come down to your DNA.

Dr Hussain said: "Bone strength is largely inherited. That includes how dense your bones are, how well your body processes calcium, and even how your skeleton is built.

"Some of us are naturally more prone to thinner bones - and those can snap more easily under pressure."

As mentioned previously, lifestyle plays a factor in the chances of you breaking a bone.

"Lifestyle plays a huge role in whether or not you’ll suffer a fracture one day," said the healthcare expert.

Some of these lifestyle factors include smoking, your alcohol intake and how much exercise you do. Those who smoke, drink a lot and have limited exercise are reportedly more at risk.

Eating a balanced diet is also key to keeping your bones strong, thus preventing any breaks.

The Royal Osteoporosis Society (ROS) advises that people eat 'a variety of foods' which contain 'essential nutrients' as well as 'vitamin D'.
