THE IMPORTANCE OF CALCIUM & VITAMIN D

Calcium is found in foods like milk, leafy green vegetables and soybeans. Vitamin D, which helps you body absorb Calcium, is found in a limited number of foods and is made by your skin while you are in the sun.

Calcium and your body
 

  • Major components of healthy bones include two-thirds Calcium and one-third Bone Collagen. 
  • When it doesn´t get enough, it may take the necessaey amount from your bones, weaking them. 
  • Our bodies build up Calcium in our bones efficiently until we are about 30 years old. After that, our bone mass tends to decline. 
  • This problem is compounded even further during menopause when a decrease in estrogen levels accelerates bone loss for women. 
  • That´s why it´s important to maintain a diet with enough Calcium and Vitamin D.
