Our mission at Build Healthy Kids is to provide
families an easy way to understand, organize and improve their child's
diet and activity levels so that you can all live healthier every
day.
Get
Your Calcium Now Children’s
bodies are growing fast and they need enough calcium to build
strong, healthy bones and teeth. If they don’t get enough
during childhood, their bones will not reach their potential
and they run the risk of fractures and developing osteoporosis
later in life. Make sure your child gets the calcium they
need every day.
• Children
can only deposit calcium to make strong bones until about
their early 20s
• Drinking soda causes calcium
to be removed from bones
• The majority of children
ages 9-18 do not get enough calcium
