Increase calcium and vitamin D

Calcium and vitamin D work together to promote optimal bone health. Our bodies can make vitamin D from sunshine. However, some people may have a hard time producing enough vitamin D. And too much sun exposure can increase the risk of skin cancer.

Foods and beverages are often fortified with this essential nutrient. See food sources of calcium and vitamin D.

To increase calcium and vitamin D intake, try this:

• Drink a fortified dairy beverage with your meals.
• Add sardines to your lunch once a week.
  • Canned salmon is another great option.
  • Sardines and salmon with bones have more calcium than these products without bones.
• Cook with spinach, collard greens, bok choy, mushrooms, and taro root.
• Look for foods that are fortified with calcium and vitamin D.
  • Fortified foods may include soy beverages, soy yogurt, orange juice, and some whole-grain cereals.
  • Just be sure they don't include added sugars!
