Calcium Concerns Studies show that most diets are deficient in Calcium, an essential nutrient for strong bones, teeth, and even proper heart function. What many people don't realize is that a woman's greatest bone density is reached by the time she is 30-40 years old. Prior to your mid-thirties is the most essential time for adequate Calcium intake! After this "peak", bone density decreases by about 1% each year! The 3 keys in preventing bone loss are a calcium rich diet(including foods like spinach, broccoli, almonds, milk, yogurt, cheeses),regular exercise including weight bearing exercises, and Calcium supplementation. (Calcium can act as a mild muscle relaxer and may be beneficial to take before bed.)
