Body: 
1. Milk is a food group that provides valuable amounts of Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin and vitamins B6 and B12. Considered a rich source of "first class" protein, it is an excellent source of calcium, vitamins, and minerals.

2. An overly acidic diet leads to calcium loss, brittle hair and nails, curvature of the spine - and eventually, osteoporosis. Anti-oxidants, vitamins, and minerals actively promote bone-forming cells, decrease calcium loss, prevent oxidative stress and reduce the risk for osteoporosis.

3. Get your daily calcium chugging milk, eating yogurt or popping a pill to keep your bones strong. Remember that your bone density declines after the age of 30. You need at least 200 milligrams daily, combined with magnesium, or the calcium won't be absorbed.

4. Get your calcium from fruits and vegetables that are high in magnesium, an element needed to properly distribute calcium in the body. Foods include dark leafy greens, tofu, yogurt, nuts, seeds, chickpeas, and fish.
