Dairy foods are super important because they are packed with calcium to build strong bones and teeth! Calcium is a mineral that makes your bones hard and strong, kind of like how bricks make a building sturdy. You can find dairy in cold milk, creamy yogurt, and yummy cheese.
Drinking a glass of milk with your dinner is a great way to help your body grow strong and healthy! You can also enjoy cheese on a sandwich or yogurt with fruit for a snack. If you don’t drink milk from cows, you can get calcium from fortified almond milk or even dark green vegetables.
Calcium from dairy foods makes your bones grow strong so you can jump high and run fast. It also helps keep your teeth healthy and strong. Your body is building most of its bones right now while you are young, so getting enough calcium is extra important!
