Hi
Vitamin D helps in the absorption and deposition of calcium in the bones. For vitamin D go for morning walk after sunrise regularly.
Ragi, sesame, paneer, curds are good sources of calcium so include it in your daily diet.
Include millets and green leafy vegetables in your meals.

Small tips but very helpful :
1 . Ragi is very good source of calcium.
2. Lotus stem is also very nice option.
3. Can have fortified soya milk or almond milk.
And there are so many food items which gives you ample amount of calcium as well as vitamin -D which boosts your calcium absorption and makes your bones stronger.

Less bone density is not due to insufficient calcium intake but also could be because of other mineral deficiencies as well.
