If you're interested in improving your bone health, you already know about the importance of loading up on enough calcium and vitamin D. While you can take supplements (and many doctors suggest you do if you can’t get enough of the nutrients in your diet), it’s also possible to get them from the foods you eat. This is becoming easier each day, as more and more foods are now fortified with important vitamins and minerals. Good sources of calcium include dairy products, such as low-fat or nonfat milk, yogurt and cheese. Getting enough vitamin D (your body needs it to absorb calcium) from food alone can be difficult since few foods contain it. Focus on liver, fatty fish, egg yolks and enriched milk.
