Fitness Tip | USE CALCIUM TO FORTIFY YOUR EXERCISE
Not consuming sufficient calcium may weaken your bones, putting you at a higher risk of stress or bone fractures. Post-menopausal women face the biggest risk, with hip and bone fractures very common even with moderate exercise.
To get your fill of calcium, focus on consuming 1,000 to 1,300mg of calcium every day from food sources such as milk, broccoli, baked beans and yoghurt. However, try to limit your dairy intake to two or three servings per day as dairy products also contain vitamin A, which can weaken bones if too much is consumed.
If you're still not able to get enough calcium, consider also using a calcium supplement, found in all good nutrition and health shops.
