Best Foods for Healthy Bones
A 2009 study from the Archives of Internal Medicinefound as many as 3 out of 4 Americans  suffer from a Vitamin D deficiency. We all know about the bone-building benefits of milk, but there are other foods that can help boost your intake of Vitamin D  and the calcium you need to maintain strong, healthy bones.
Here are five of the best foods for healthy bones:

Calcium-fortified Cereal – Start your day right with a double shot of calcium. Choose a calcium-fortified cereal that is high in fiber and low in sugar, then add milk.
Edamame– This Asian soybean is packed with calcium –  197 mg in just half a cup. You can find fresh or frozen edamame at most grocery stores. Boil fresh whole edamame pods  in lightly salted water or microwave frozen edamame and sprinkle  with a small amount of sesame oil.
Dark Leafy Greens – Change up your salad greens from iceberg  to one of many dark leafy greens. Spinach, Kale, Swiss Chard, Mustard Greens and Bok Choy are just a few. One cup of Collard Greens provides 256 mg of calcium.
Yogurt – High in protein and healthy gut bacteria, yogurt offers 400 mg of calcium in just an 8-ounce serving. Choose a Greek variety for an extra protein boost.
Milk Alternatives – People with lactose intolerance often have trouble digesting dairy,  and have to miss out on a major source of calcium. Instead opt for enriched soy milk or almond milk for - 300 mg of calcium in one cup.
