Is milk necessary for strong bones?
No. Dr. Shilpa utilizes excellent non-dairy calcium sources like ragi (finger millet), sesame seeds, and green leafy vegetables at Nutrition Colours.
Why is Vitamin K2 important for bones?
Vitamin K2 acts as a traffic controller, directing calcium into the bone matrix and keeping it out of your arteries where it causes plaque.
