Bone is made up of calcium, protein, and other minerals. Getting
enough calcium helps protect bones by slowing bone loss. People
over 50 should get 1,200 milligrams of calcium daily. To do this,
make foods that are high in calcium part of your diet. The most
concentrated food sources of calcium include:
-
dairy products such as low-fat milk, yogurt, and cheeses, and
-
calcium-fortified orange juice.
