Bones are the body’s first lines of defense. They protect the brain, heart and lungs and anchor the muscles. They keep us mobile. And all they ask in return is our support to keep them strong: good nutrition, weight-bearing exercise, calcium and Vitamin D. Bones’ needs also vary with age. You accumulate an astonishing 90 percent of all your bone mass by the time you’re 21, so it pays to bank that calcium in your early years. After that, it’s all about maintenance — which is important if you don’t want to be a senior citizen with broken hips or curved vertebrae, which can lead to hunched posture and difficulty breathing. Because once you hit adulthood, you are cruising on what you’ve accumulated in calcium and in Vitamin D, which helps you metabolize that calcium.

Their is Vitamin D in the sun, right?
That is why it is so important to build up that calcium at an early age. I know a lot of people that don’t like milk and they seem to have weak bones.
Apparently one needs calcium, magnesium (in a certain ratio), Vitamin D and Vitamin K to make the calicium actually go into the bones and not clogg up your arteries!
Your skin can only make Vitamin D when the sun is higher as 45° (when your shaddow is shorter than yourself!), so for most countries you should in winter rather take a Vitamin D supplement, which also seems to act as a prevention for the flu!
Get the vitamin d out quick
I live in the UK and take Vitamin D all winter, some days I dont even see the sun! This helps me personally with Seasonal Effective Disorder.
