Why Kids Need Calcium and How to Make Sure They Get It

It's no secret that calcium is essential for strong bones and healthy teeth.

Sadly, far too many children do not get the recommended 100 mg of calcium they need on a daily basis.

Why Kids Need Calcium

As mentioned above, calcium is essential for strong bones and teeth. But that's not all it does. Calcium is also necessary for proper muscle function, nervous system function, and hormone production. In fact, calcium is so important that our bodies constantly take calcium from our bones in order to perform these other functions. That's why it's so important for kids to get enough calcium in their diets; if they don't, their bodies will start to break down their bones in order to get the calcium they need. Ouch!

How to Make Sure Your Kids Are Getting Enough Calcium

There are a few different ways you can make sure your kids are getting enough calcium:

• -Encourage them to eat foods that are high in calcium like milk, yogurt, cheese, dark leafy greens, and beans.
• -Make sure they're getting enough vitamin D. Our bodies need vitamin D in order to absorb calcium properly. You can encourage your kids to spend time outside in the sun or give them a supplement if they're not getting enough vitamin D from food sources.
• -Give them a calcium supplement like NOW® Kid Cal Chewables. These chewable lozenges are tasty and easy for kids to take, making it more likely that they'll actually take them! Plus, they contains magnesium and vitamin D which are also essential for proper bone health.
