Tips to avoid calcium deficiency and maintain bone health

• There are many calcium-rich foods that can help you maintain a healthy level of calcium in your blood, such as milk, yogurt, and cheese.
• When it comes to healthy bones and preventing osteoporosis, calcium alone isn't enough. Several other nutrients help your body absorb and utilize the calcium you consume. These include magnesium and vitamin D.
• You can always check for vitamin D deficiency by the result of a vitamin D meter at home.
• Be careful about your caffeine intake, as drinking more than two cups of coffee a day can lead to calcium loss.
• Cut down on soft drinks. In order to balance out the phosphates in soft drinks, your body pulls calcium from your bones.
• Exercise also plays a vital role in maintaining bone strength, especially walking, lifting weights, and climbing stairs.
