    In addition to calcium, many other minerals are needed to maintain bone health. When the ratio of calcium to phosphorus in the diet is 1:1 to 2:1, it is beneficial to the absorption of both. Foods high in phosphorus mainly include lean meat, eggs, milk, nuts, whole grains, etc. Magnesium can cooperate with calcium to maintain bone health. Plant foods contain more magnesium, including grains, dark green vegetables, nuts, etc. Secondly, adequate vitamin intake is also the key to bone health, such as vitamin D, B vitamins, vitamin A, folic acid and so on. Finally, the intake of macronutrients such as protein and carbohydrates can also maintain the body's metabolic balance, which is beneficial to bone health.
