1. Add Calcium-Rich Foods to Your Diet

Your bones need calcium every day. Include milk, yogurt, cheese, ragi, sesame seeds, almonds, and leafy greens in your meals. Adults usually need 1,000–1,200 mg daily.

2. Get Your Daily Vitamin D

Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium better. Spend 10–15 minutes in sunlight a few times a week and add vitamin D–rich foods like fatty fish and fortified milk. Supplements may be needed if levels are low.
