Osteoporosis Awareness
Osteoporosis - porous bones - can lead to injury, disease and even death.
Older-adult women with a history of prior fractures, falls, low-body weight and low bone mineral density are at higher risk of developing osteoporosis.
1200mg of calcium a day, plus strength, balance and flexibility help to reduce risk.
Calcium is found in more than just dairy. Use the chart to create bone-strengthening calcium-rich meals.
Calcium is absorbed better in smaller, 300mg quantities; 4 times a day.
Build strong bones by getting 1200mg of calcium daily. Your bones will thank you!
