Q: hi! my grandma had bone problems and i don't know how to spell what she had but you probably know what i mean right? in school they were talking about the same thing in health class and she said that if we ate calcium rich foods we would not get that disiease. great but how much milk and cheese can you eat?! are there any other foods that have calcium but maybe don't make you so fat?
Hello there. I believe the disease is called \"osteoperosis\", which occurs when there is a calcium deficiency in the bones. You see, calcium is used to strengthen and grow bones all over your body... But if you don\'t get enough--overtime, you bones may become fragile and highly prone to fractures. If you\'d like to stack on the calcium but don\'t wish to gain weight, you can try low-fat dairy products--such as low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese, and others. Check your dairy aisle for more products at your local grocery store. Don\'t forget to balance out your diet with nutritious veggies, meat, and grains(: --And most importantly, keep loving your body and yourself!

thank you SO much! super helpful answer! :)
