Calcium

Bone tissue undergoes continuous remodeling, but aging shifts this process toward excessive breakdown. When your bloodstream lacks sufficient calcium, your body leaches this essential mineral directly from your skeleton.

Consuming three to four daily servings of calcium-rich foods protects your skeletal framework. Look beyond traditional dairy; incorporate plain Greek yogurt, firm tofu set with calcium sulfate, and leafy greens like collard greens. Pairing these foods with vitamin D guarantees the calcium successfully reaches your bone matrix.
