They are essential micro-nutrients firstly because they fulfill various functions in the human body. Calcium is most abundant in the bones thus eating Calcium rich foods like cheese might help to keep bones strong and prevent their degeneration. Phosphorus is the building backbone of energy, genetic material and every cell itself. Lack of phosphorus might cause problems starting with bone and muscle degeneration up to blood cell disruption. Phosphorus intake might harden bones too.
Food rich in Calcium is hard cheese and rich in phosphorus are dates.

What is the role of Phosphorus in the human body?
High levels of phosphorus in blood can occur in people with severe kidney disease or severe dysfunction of their calcium regulation. High phosphate levels in your blood reduce the formation of the active form of vitamin D (calcitriol) in your kidneys, reduce blood calcium, and lead to increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) release by the parathyroid glands. High intakes of phosphorus, as is found in a diet with meats, soft drinks, and other convenience foods, can affect calcium metabolism. Because phosphorus is not as tightly regulated by the body as calcium, phosphate levels in your blood can rise slightly with a high phosphorus diet, especially after meals. If you drink too much soda and you don't eat enough leafy green vegetables and other calcium-rich foods, you are risking your bone health. Potential calcium deficiency symptoms may be more likely when your phosphorus intake is very high. A low calcium-to-phosphorus ratio in your diet increases your risk of hypertension and colon-rectal cancer. Excessively high levels of phosphorus in your blood can combine with calcium to form deposits in soft tissues such as muscle.
