Hi, I'm Hannah. With more science news you can use.

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Do astronauts need calcium in space?

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
I'm told to drink milk for calcium. Can't astronauts drink milk too?

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Astronauts don't have refrigerators in space to store milk, but they can still get calcium with a good diet.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000
I heard astronauts may need more calcium in space. Why?

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000
In space, bones don't have to support as much as on Earth.

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Nobody believes bones don't need as much calcium.

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Some calcium is taken out of the bones and is excreted from the body.

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,000
NASA knows exercising in space helps keep an astronaut's body and bones strong like on Earth.

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000
If NASA can help stop bone loss during spaceflight, they may be able to help people on Earth with bone diseases.
