calcium

spinach (raw) is a very good source of calcium. I take a multi-vitamin and a calcium supplement for my osteoporosis every day. Here are some other good choices: anchovies canned salmon w/bone yogurt rhubarb (I do not eat the first two because I do not like them)There are others, see http://www.med.umich.edu/1libr/guides/calcium.htm for one list. Also, people in some places count too much on vitamin D being obsorbed into the body by the sun. Particularly here in Maine. You just cannot get enough vitamin D from the sun here.
