Grandmas everywhere would agree - A dirty kid is a happy kid! I know my kids always had a smile playing in the dirt.

Healthy organisms that are present in dirt can be a significant boost when it comes to a child's immune system. Studies have shown that children without regular exposure to the germs found in dirt have increased cases of asthma, allergies, and autoimmune issues.

On the flip side, encouraging kids to enjoy the sensory activity of playing in the dirt can combat inflammation, fight bowel disease and prevent respiratory illness.

Make the Brain and Heart Happy

Playing in nature has massive benefits for both mental ability and mental health. Spending an extended amount of time outdoors in unstructured play -- making mud pies, for example -- has been shown to build a child's confidence, promote creativity, enhance the senses, challenge thought patterns and reduce stress. For children with behavioral or sensory struggles, this can make a significant difference in their daily lives and functioning. So don't be afraid of getting a little dirty!

When it comes to bone health and nutrition, calcium first comes to mind. However, other nutrients are just as crucial to bone health.

Bones need more than calcium.
Bone is not built with calcium alone.
Bone contains significant amounts of magnesium and trace minerals zinc, copper, and manganese.
Magnesium allows your bones to absorb calcium more readily, which is why it's the perfect complement to calcium in supplements. It supports bone metabolism and helps to strengthen bones by aiding calcium incorporation into bone.

In a randomized, controlled, two-year trial, a supplement containing manganese, copper, and zinc in combination with a calcium supplement was found to be more effective than the calcium supplement alone in preventing spinal bone loss.

You may not know this but vitamin D is essential for bone formation as it promotes the absorption of calcium into the bloodstream.

Recent research has shown that vitamin K is also crucial to bone formation.

Other vitamins and minerals needed for bone maintenance and repairs include:
Phosphorus
Vitamin A
Vitamin C
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B12
Folate
You can get in trouble if your bones are not as strong as they need to be. And if you have a bone fracture as you grow older, it can be difficult for you to recover.

Eating calcium rich foods and proper supplementation will help retain healthy levels of Ca.
