Milk being the richest and easily available source. So, make it a point to gulp down a cup of milk be it be low-fat, skim, or whole. If milk does not fit well into your diet, then replace it with yogaurt or cheese, both are excellent options even for lactose-intolerants! Apart from, milk and dairy products, sardines are also great source of calcium, these little fish have all that is required for the replenishment of the bone mass. Green veggies  too have abundance of this bone strengthening mineral.

And most importantly, the usage of ctable salt should be minimzed, as it prevents the body from absorbing calcium from the food intake.

Vitamin D is yet another agent that holds the bones intact! Salmon and other fatty fish have this bone-boosting nutrient. Sunshine is responsible for the production of vitamin D in our bodies on exposure to sunlight!
