We all know calcium is good for the bones, but do you know the other crucial compound your body needs for healthy bones?
Calcium certainly is important for your body, but it is somewhat ineffective if there is a lack of vitamin D. Working as building blocks, vitamin D and calcium go hand-in-hand. The body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium. Without adequate vitamin D levels in the body, minimal calcium absorption occurs.
Vitamin D can be obtained from fortified foods and drinks, and, in the sunny Arizona climate, just fifteen minutes in the sun per day. Your skin absorbs vitamin D from the sun!
