Calcium….You never stop needing it!
sporty_spoon.jpgby KAREN INGE, leading Australian dietitian and nutritionist.

Everyone needs calcium, but at certain times in your life you need more calcium. Peak needs are when you are growing, when a woman is pregnant or breastfeeding and in later years.


Yoghourt an excellent source

One of the best and most available sources of calcium is dairy foods and now with the vast array of low fat choices especially with Jalna yoghourts and drinks, it’s much easier to load up on calcium without being weighed down with the saturated fat.  You should aim for 3-4 serves of dairy foods a day.

Other foods also contain calcium, but you may be surprised at just how much. Check the Calcium Counter to see whether you are getting enough calcium in your diet.
