CALCIUM-NO DAYS OFF

Skip your calcium supplement every now and then and you could be missing out on big benefits.when australian researchs reviewed 17 studies,they found that people who consistently took calcium reduced their risk of bones fractures by 24 percent.But if supplement users missed doses more than 20 percent of the time,they cut the pay off-by half.You get the most protection by taking atleast 1,2oo milligrams of calcium and 800 iu of vitamin D,the researchers found,but only when you do it daily.If your calcium tabs are hard to swallow or you dont like tha chalky taste of some chewables,try flovored chews (viactiv,among other brand) or powders (like cal-100) thet can be mixed into food.
