Calcium plays a critical role in building strong and healthy bones.
It is also essential for bone and teeth development and maintenance, muscle contraction and nerve transmission. When you don't consume enough calcium, your body robs what it needs from your bones and weakens them. Your body has an enzyme called lactase which breaks apart the lactose in the milk. People with lactose intolerance have difficulty digesting milk because their bodies don't have enough lactase. You need lactase to fully break down the lactose into a simple sugar that your body can use.
