Doctors recommend people with osteoporosis intake calcium and vitamin D3. Both calcium and vitamin D are important nutrients for preventing and treating osteoporosis.
Calcium helps a person with osteoporosis keep their bones strong. A person’s body cannot make calcium. Instead, it must absorb it from food. Vitamin D helps a person’s body absorb calcium efficiently.
People can eat certain foods to ensure they get enough calcium, including:
• low fat dairy products
• dark leafy green vegetables
• broccoli
• some fish, such as sardines and salmon
• calcium-fortified foods such as: soy milk, tofu, orange juice, cereals, bread
Foods that contain good sources of vitamin D include fatty fish, fish oils, egg yolks, liver
