Add More Calcium to Your Daily Routine
It is important to eat and drink a wide variety of calcium-rich foods and beverages everyday. Bone health depends on it. It can be easier than you think if you work it into your daily routine:
- Drink low-fat milk or skim milk during your coffee break
- Pick some fresh berries and add milk at breakfast
- Try drinking some of the new flavored milk
- Flavor your own milk using favorite flavors from coffee houses
- Enjoy calcium rich snacks like yogurt, cheese and crackers or pudding
- Order a latte or cappuccino in place of black coffee. Try an iced variety in these warm months
- Try some fresh baked cookies with low-fat or skim milk
Start slowly, increasing amounts and adjusting menus. Before long calcium will be a part of your daily routine.
