CALCIUM AND BONE HEALTH
| Calcium is important for strong bones. Approximately 50% of the calcium in adult bones is laid down during adolescence, so this is a critical time period for calcium intake. Dairy is an easy way to get calcium but genetics and weight-bearing physical activity also play important roles in developing strong bones. |
