The skeleton renews itself in about ten years, so its building materials are constantly needed throughout life.
Bones are living tissue, mainly calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. Calcium needs also vitamin D to be absorbed.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that the skin produces under the influence of daylight. It is stored in the body.
Vitamin D is found especially in fatty sea fish, such as salmon or tuna, but also in some mushrooms.
The functions of vitamin D are versatile throughout the body, it is a powerful antioxidant, together with magnesium, phosphorus and calcium, vitamin D also forms bone tissue.
Calcium keeps the bones hard, but it has an important function in terms of the proper functioning of the muscles, it is good to remember that the heart is also a muscle.
Calcium is found in dairy products, e.g. In Swiss cheese (Emmental), cottage cheese and curd, but it is also in vegetables, e.g. broccoli and other cabbages, white beans and tofu.
Magnesium and phosphorus are found in many foods: dairy products, eggs, nuts and seeds, legumes, whole grains, vegetables and meat.
