HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Your body needs calcium to keep your bones dense and strong. Low bone density can cause your bones to become brittle and fragile. These weak bones can break more easily, even without an obvious injury. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium.

Detailed explanation-2: -Taking calcium reduces bone loss and decreases the risk of fracturing the vertebrae (the bones that surround the spinal cord). Consuming calcium during childhood (eg, in milk) can lead to higher bone mass in adulthood. This increase in bone density can reduce the risk of fractures later in life.

Detailed explanation-3: -The benefits of calcium Your body needs calcium to build and maintain strong bones. Your heart, muscles and nerves also need calcium to function properly. Some studies suggest that calcium, along with vitamin D, may have benefits beyond bone health: perhaps protecting against cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Among the various nutrients, calcium and vitamin D have proven their efficacy for normal bone growth and development in children and adolescents and for the maintenance of bone mineral loss in postmenopausal women [15]. An optimal calcium intake is necessary for bone health at all stages of life.

Detailed explanation-5: -Get enough calcium, vitamin D, and protein each day. Low-fat dairy; leafy green vegetables; fish; and fortified juices, milk, and grains are good sources of calcium. If your vitamin D level is low, talk with your doctor about taking a supplement.
