You want to look and feel good and have plenty of energy all the time. You ask a lot of yourself. The only way you can possibly handle all these demands is to be in good health. However, as a woman you may have some special health concerns. You may be concerned about osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a decrease in bone mass that leaves bones very fragile and susceptible to fractures.
Lack of calcium in the diet is one of the factors that may be associated with increased risk for osteoporosis. At this time there is no cure for this disabling disease, but it is both preventable and treatable. Fortunately, you may be able to help prevent osteoporosis. One way is by maintaining your body's calcium stores. One serving is equivalent to one cup of milk, one cup of yogurt, or one ounce of cheese.
