   Calcium is the building block of the human body bones.

     Keeping our bones strong depends more on preventing the loss of calcium      rather than increase consumption. Calcium loss rate depends partly on the        type and quantity of protein that we eat, as well as on other factors related      to diet and lifestyle.


   Vegetarians who avoid dairy consumption, main calcium intake of plant          sources is obtained especially from green leafy vegetables and legumes that      give the body an important building block for building bones.
