Answer: True. You have more calcium in your body than any other mineral--and 99 percent of it is stored in your bones. It's important to get enough for many reasons, chief among them to prevent osteoporosis. Make sure you get enough by drinking milk or calcium-fortified orange juice. Snack on low-fat cheeses or frozen yogurt and add some spinach and almonds to your salad. All will give your body a calcium boost!
