Daily dose of calcium benefits teeth By Erika, Pure Matters One
of the most important nutrients we need on a daily basis is
calcium. Our bodies need calcium to maintain healthy bones and
teeth as well as to help muscles and nerves to carry messages
between the brain and other body parts. Lots of us aren’t
getting enough calcium regularly, which can lead to issues such
as osteoporosis or risk of bone fractures in the long term,

exercising regularly, eating foods that contain calcium, and
