Super Strong Calcium

Calcium Is Necessary For Strong Bones !

MyPyramid The best sources of calcium are from the Milk Group of MyPyramid.

How much Calcium do you need? Everyone needs calcium. Calcium is used to make our bones strong. If you are growing, you need more.

4 to 8 Year Olds If you are in this age group, you need to have at least 800 milligrams of Calcium daily This is equal to 2 and 2/3 cups of milk

9 to 18 Year Olds If you are in this age group, you need to have at least 1,300 milligrams of Calcium daily This is equal to 4 and 1/3 cups of milk

Adults 19 and Older If you are in this age group, you need to have at least 1,000 milligrams of Calcium daily This is equal to 3 and 1/3 cups of milk

Benefits of calcium Calcium helps with muscle contractions by helping you move your arms and legs. Calcium prevents blood clots. Calcium can help delay various chronic diseases and promote weight loss.

Where is it Stored in My Body? Calcium is stored within the bones and is used up as needed.

What if I Don’t Get Enough?  You may get Osteoporosis. - This makes bones weak and they are more likely to break.

What can you do to prevent this? Continue to have adequate amount of milk and other dairy products and greens so you will get enough calcium every day as you are growing. When we have adequate calcium, our bone is stronger than even the best reinforced concrete used to build buildings.

Sources of Calcium Milk Cheese Yogurt Ice Cream Greens Fish with bones Beans Fortified bread

Other factors that improve bone strength Exercise Make sure you are exposure to sunlight every day
