Calcium supplements, available at chemists and health food stores, may be a partial answer for those who are not taking in adequate amounts of this mineral through their diet. These supplements include: calcium carbonate products, calcium lactate and calcium gluconate.

Please check with your doctor or nutritionist for advice on your best choice of calcium supplement. Boosting calcium intake:

 Try figs for snacks. One fig contains about 23 milligrams of calcium. (Figs, however, are high in calories.)

 Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese or toasted almonds (ground or slivered) on stir-fried broccoli.

 Use yoghurt as a base for dips, spreads and toppings.

 Try tofu in lasagne and stir-fried dishes.

 Add almonds or cheese cubes to salads.

 Use milk instead of ‘whiteners’ in tea and coffee.
