Along with vitamin D, calcium is an essential nutrient for bone health, says Pearson, who recommends milk and other dairy products as good sources of calcium.
Other foods to eat include almonds, beans, sesame seeds and broccoli.
Pearson stresses that it's difficult to get enough calcium in your diet without milk products or fortified soy milk in your diet.
