Calcium is a mineral that is important for strong bones and healthy teeth. Get the calcium you need from milk, cheese, yogurt, kale, broccoli, and fortified juices.

Vitamin D helps in the absorption
of calcium. Get your Vitamin D from
fifteen minutes of sun exposure or
egg yolk, fatty fish, and fortified milk.

A high intake of soda may lead to a higher amount of phosphorus than calcium in your body. Limit soda to an occasional treat instead of a substitute for milk or calcium-fortified juices at mealtime.
