"I'm Katy Adams, a registered dietician with Decathlon Club, part of Western Athletic Clubs. The best source of calcium is, of course, diary products. Besides containing calcium, dairy products also contain protein, which will help keep you fuller for a longer period of time. The optimum amount of calcium is fifteen hundred milligrams a day, or about three servings of dairy. Remember to spread your dairy out over....between three or four hours. Just as it takes three to four hours to digest and absorb a meal, it takes that much time to absorb a serving of diary. Calcium is also found in some other unconventional food sources. Dark, leafy greens, such as broccoli and spinach and kale all contain calcium, both in their raw and cooked forms. Certain juices, such as orange juice, might also be fortified with calcium. However, you want to remember to limit your intake of juice, and especially be mindful if your juice has added sugar. Another source of calcium are breakfast cereals and other grain products. They are often fortified with calcium. I'm Katy Adams, a registered dietician with Decathlon Club, part of Western Athletic Clubs, and that is how to eat more calcium."
