Once a woman has gone through menopause, she needs about 1,500 milligrams of calcium a day. Another important point is that calcium isn't well absorbed by the body when taken with caffeine. The earlier a woman starts making sure she gets enough calcium, the better. But it's never too late. Reaching back for your seatbelt and buckling up - it's an extra step no matter how you look at it.
Some people find seatbelts reassuring, providing a measure of control in an uncertain world.
Others find seatbelts so annoying they rarely use them. But any way you look at seatbelts, using them is now the law in Maine. Maine's new law requires the use of seatbelts by drivers and passengers four years of age and older. If you've got to use them, it makes sense to try to adopt a positive attitude about seatbelts. The truth is that using seatbelts prevent or reduce injuries.
