Why Are Vitamin D And Calcium So Important?
Calcium helps bones and teeth stay strong. It is also needed by almost every cell in the body to keep it working properly. Maintaining an adequate calcium intake is an important step towards good bone health throughout life. The main goal of good calcium nutrition is to maintain an adequate supply so that our body does not have to dip into the reserve of calcium in our bones.
Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and store calcium from the foods we eat. Our bodies can produce vitamin D when we are exposed to sunlight.
