Build Your Bones

CALCIUM- the key for healthy bones, but they need other nutrients like

VITAMIN D- helps us absorb calcium. Most people should strive for 800 to 1,000 IU a day, which usually requires a supplement.

VITAMIN K- helps bones synthesize proteins involved in calcium use. Get Vitamin K from broccoli, spinach, kale and other leafy green veggies.

MAGNESIUM- helps form and maintain bones. Find it in Spinach, beans, nuts and whole grains. Women should strive for 320mg a day and men for 420mg.
