Daily Calcium is good for the Bones

Meeting your daily calcium requirement needs to be a lifetime commitment. 1,ooo mg of calcium and 400 IU of vitamin daily if you re under 50, and 1,500 mg of calcium and 800 IU of D if you re over 50. How to achieved this? Here's how to get it? Three servings of calcium-rich foods daily provide about 900mg of calcium. Best bets: fat-free or low fat dairy products and calcium fortified orange juice. Combined with the 250mg that you typically get from other foods, you' ll meet the quota. Also, pick a calcium supplement that you like-whether it's chewable, chocolate flavored, or simply a tablet and you'll be more likely to take it regularly. And the best thing is to keep a supply in your purse, car or desk drawer for a convenient lunchtime or suppertime dose. Calcium is best absorbed in doses larger than 500mg taken at least 3 hours apart. Remember, Calcium counts and this is our bones need.
