Calcium
You know that you need calcium for strong bones. It’s what your mom used to tell you when she made you drink your milk growing up. Though the jury is still out on this, some members of the medical community believe that eating a diet high in meat protein makes it harder for your body to absorb calcium. But carnivores and herbivores alike must make sure they get enough of this nutrient. It’s not just important for your bones but it also helps with your brain and nerve function, as well as your circulatory system. Healthy adults between the ages of 19 and 50 can take up to 2,500 mg per day. That decreases to 2,000 mg for those 51 and up.
