Challenge: Getting enough calcium and vitamin D to
maintain strong bones and protect against osteoporosis
Solution: Women 19-50 years of age should consume 1000 mg of calcium and 5
ug (200 IU) of Vitamin D per day. Milk and milk products, such as cheese and
yogurt provide the most readily available source of calcium and other bone
building nutrients. Other sources include calcium-fortified beverages (soy, rice and
orange juice) tofu made with calcium sulfate, salmon and sardines with bones,
sesame seeds and almonds. Bok choy, kale and broccoli also provide calcium but
in smaller amounts. Vitamin D is found in fluid milk, eggs, fish and fish liver Oils,
margarine as well as in soy and rice beverages fortified with vitamin D. Sunlight
on the skin can be a major source of vitamin D but is limited in Canada from
October to March and by use of sunscreens. To prevent osteoporosis women are
encouraged to get enough calcium, vitamin D and protein, limit caffeine, have
sodium in moderation, and keep active particularly with weight-bearing activity.
