  HOW MUCH CALCIUM.
  Studies say that a body can only absorb 500mg three times a day of calcium. If you take a calcium supplement that is 1000mg at one time your body will most likely not absorb the whole 1000mg. Best if you can eat your way through the building of your bones.

  FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
  By eating alkaline rich foods the body may reduce calcium excretion and boost bone health. Fruits and vegetables add bicarbonate which helps bones
  resportion and calcium excretion.
  Vine-ripened vegetables like eggplant, tomatoes, cantaloupe (fruit), eggplant, that ripen on the ground as opposed to being picked early and shipped provide a better source for your bones.
