    Calcium is crucial for proper function of your muscles, nervous system and for strong bones and teeth.  Consider adding these foods to your diet to get more calcium: Collard greens, sardines, green peas, baked beans, and goat milk. You can also add calcium to your diet by taking calcium supplements. Experts suggest that you take 1,000 to 1,500 mgs per day.
