Bones generally need calcium, vitamin D, protein, magnesium and other nutrients.
1. Calcium: Calcium is the “supporter” of bones, and the calcium of the human body is stored in the bones, so that the bones can maintain a certain degree of hardness and strength.
2. Vitamin D: promotes intestinal calcium absorption, reduces renal calcium excretion, and replenishes calcium into bones.
3. Protein: The protein in bones is mainly collagen. Protein makes the bones hard but not brittle, tough, withstand the impact of external forces, and the amino acids and peptides in protein are favorable to the absorption of calcium.
4. Magnesium: Most of the magnesium in the human body is found in the bones. In the formation of bones, magnesium has a very important role. Lack of magnesium will make bones brittle and easier to break.
It is recommended to eat more foods that are high in protein, calcium and vitamins to promote the absorption of nutrients in the body, thus favoring the growth and development of bones.
