CALCIUM FOR HEALTHY BONES & GOOD HEALTH

Calcium isn’t just for bones anymore. Studies have also found that getting adequate amounts of calcium from our diet can help prevent
cancer.
• So how much calcium do we really need?
Amount of calcium
needed in milligrams
Kids age 1-3 500 mg
Kids age 4-8 800 mg
Kids age 9-18 1300 mg
Adults under 50 1000 mg
Adults over 50 1200 mg
• What foods are high in calcium?
 Dairy products such as milk, yogurt and cheese are the best source of calcium.
One 8 ounce glass of milk contains 300 milligrams of calcium.
 Other good sources of calcium include: calcium fortified orange juice, calcium fortified breakfast cereals, leafy green
vegetables (spinach, broccoli, kale) and nuts (almonds, pistachios).

• Other things to consider:

 Limit your intake of soda pop. The high levels of phosphorous found in soda depletes calcium levels in the body. The
caffeine found in many sodas also decreases the body’s ability to absorb calcium.
 Calcium and vitamin D work together- without enough vitamin D, your body cannot absorb calcium. This vitamin isn’t found
naturally in most of the foods we eat. Our bodies make vitamin D when our skin is exposed to sunlight, but most of us still
don’t get enough vitamin D. Consider taking a vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) supplement, particularly in the winter months.
