Osteoporosis: What to do now to protect yourself later

Dairy

If you can't consume dairy, calcium-fortified foods like orange juice, tofu and oatmeal are options for meeting the recommended 1,000 mg of calcium each day. Other non-dairy sources of calcium include almonds; leafy greens like collard greens, bok choy and kale; beans; and broccoli. Check out our Healthy Tzatziki recipe featuring a calcium superstar - Greek Yogurt.
