Getting enough calcium in your daily diet is only part of the story. In order for your body to properly absorb this mineral, it needs Vitamin D.

Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin. We can either get Vitamin D through the foods we eat, or it can be made by our bodies provided we are exposed to sunlight. The ultraviolet rays (UV) from the sun are what helps the body make Vitamin D.

Getting plenty of Vitamin D and Calcium is what makes and keeps your bones strong.  Vitamin D can be found in fatty fish (cod, salmon, tuna and mackerel) and has also been added to milk.

Drink your milk and get out in the sun and you should provide your body with all the vitamin D it needs.
