The bones are mainly made of a mineral called calcium.
Calcium keeps bones and teeth strong and healthy.
Strong bones and teeth are important for overall health.
Young children need calcium to develop strong teeth and bones.
Adults need calcium to maintain healthy teeth and a strong skeleton.
Dairy products (such as milk, cheese, and yogurt) provide calcium.
Other foods (non-dairy) that are high in calcium are: almonds, broccoli, figs and sardines.
