2. Phosphorous
Phosphorous and calcium work with one another to promote strong bones and teeth. Deficiencies in phosphorous are uncommon; in fact, it is more likely to have too much phosphorous in the body than too little. Too much phosphorous in the short term can cause diarrhea or stomach pain and can reduce the amount of calcium in the bones causing weakness and eventually osteoporosis. Good food sources of phosphorous are red meat, dairy, fish, poultry, brown rice, and oats.
