Get Enough Calcium
The Basics
Women ages 19 to 50 need at least 1,000 mg of calcium every day. Younger women and women over 50 need even more calcium.
Take Action!
Start by checking labels to find foods high in calcium.
Snack on unsalted nuts instead of chips.
Make a smoothie with low–fat milk, fruit and ice in the blender.
If you already take a calcium pill, make it easy to remember. Put a note on your bathroom mirror where you will see it each day.
