Question

How can the deficiency of calcium be prevented?

Answer 1

1. Include calcium-rich foods: milk, curd, paneer, cheese, ragi, green leafy vegetables, almonds, fish and eggs.
2. Get adequate vitamin D from morning sunlight and vitamin D-rich foods because vitamin D is needed for calcium absorption.
3. Avoid excess phosphorus and oxalates, which interfere with calcium absorption.
4. Do regular weight-bearing exercise to keep bones strong.
