The vitamin the body lacks when legs and bones are painful

If your pain isn’t solely from a lack of  vitamin D, other nutrients may be involved.

Calcium: the rock of your bones

Without calcium, your bones become fragile and more prone to fractures. It is found in:

  • Dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt)
  • Almonds and sardines
  • Leafy green vegetables like spinach and kale

Magnesium: the muscles’ ally

A lack of magnesium can lead to cramps and muscle pain. To prevent this, eat:

  • Bananas and avocados
  • Sunflower seeds and nuts
  • Cocoa (a good excuse for a square of dark chocolate)
