Alongside calcium, phosphorus is "really making up your bones and your teeth and keeping you strong," says Natalie Rizzo, registered dietitian and TODAY.com's nutrition editor. But phosphorus also plays a role in all kinds of essential bodily processes that we need every day but might forget are happening, she adds.

The article from Today.com discusses the importance of phosphorus, a vital mineral essential for bone health, energy production, and various cellular functions. It highlights that while phosphorus is abundant in many foods, ensuring adequate intake is crucial for maintaining health. Foods rich in phosphorus include dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt; meats such as beef, chicken, and pork; fish like salmon and tuna; nuts and seeds; whole grains; and legumes. The article also notes that while phosphorus deficiency is rare, certain conditions or diets might lead to lower levels, and excessive intake from processed foods or supplements can be harmful, potentially leading to issues like cardiovascular disease or kidney damage. It emphasizes the balance of phosphorus with other minerals like calcium for optimal health benefits.
