how much calcium do I need?
As a woman ages, her calcium needs change. Choose foods rich in calcium, including low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese and ice cream. If you can’t eat dairy foods, calcium is also in:

• sardines
• salmon
• shrimp
• broccoli
• collard and turnip greens
• sesame or sunflower seeds
• dried figs.

What’s in Your Medicine Cabinet?
There are certain medications that can cause early or accelerated bone loss. Those include some seizure medications and medicines given after organ transplants. The University of Michigan Health System coordinates care to help patients avoid those risks.

Don’t Miss Your Period!
Many athletic young women in their late teens or early twenties don’t realize that missed periods (amenorrhea) may mean lower-than-normal estrogen levels, which can lead to bone loss. If your periods have stopped, see your doctor to find out why.
