Hi lybrate-user, Calcium rich food sources are many like seeds, nuts, green leafy vegetables, beans &lentils, milk & milk products like curd, cheese. My favourite is Ragi/nachni, Moringa powder, Amranth, figs & til seeds. Most important is have 1000 to 1200 mg per day. You can easily meet your calcium needs by eating from diverse foods. Getting enough vitamin D helps the body absorb�calcium�and also helps the kidneys break down and incorporate (resorb)�calcium that would otherwise be excreted. Vitamin D is found in eggs, butter, fatty fish, liver, and fortified foods such as milk, orange juice, and cereal and offcourse sunlight.
