How to: Up your calcium intake
Calcium Tip #1. Aim for two serves of dairy a day.
A serve equals a glass of (preferably low-fat) milk, a small portion of cheese or a small tub of yoghurt. Egg yolks are also a good source of calcium.
Calcium Tip #2. Can’t or won’t eat dairy?
Explore dairy substitute options such as calcium-fortified soy yoghurt, soy milk or rice milk with added calcium. Also, tofu is a good source of calcium.
Calcium Tip #3. Want more options?
Other great sources of calcium include 100g of almonds, tinned salmon or sardines with bones, green leafy vegetables and 30g of tahini (made from sesame seeds and found in hummus).
