What mineral supply strength to bone?

Calcium is an important mineral in our diet - our bones and teeth contain a lot of it. Calcium oxide is used in cement and concrete, and calcium cabonate is used in iron and steel making. if you have ever broken a bone, you might have had a cast made from plaster of Paris which is calcium sulphate. The name calcium comes from the latin word for lime (calcium oxide). Calcium is needed for our blood to clot properly, and for our muscles and nerves to work properly. There is about 1kilogram of calcium in a typical 70kilogram person and about 99% of this is stored in the bones. Calcium is found in foods such as milk, cheese and tofu. If we do not have enough calcium in our diet we run the risk of getting weak bones and teeth. Vitamin D is important for controlling the levels of calcium and phosphorus in our bodies. Eggs, butter and margarine are good sources of vitamin D and our bodies can also make it when we spend time in the sunshine.
