Requirement of calcium for women

For teenage girls  800mg per day. For pregnant women,nursing mothers,menopausal women 1200mg per day. If the above said women take calcium regularly there is a possibility of increasing bone density so that they can prevent osteoporosis and weakness in their later stages.

The following are some of the calcium rich foods.

Beans, cooked rajma, tofu, leafy vegetables ,green gram, urid dal, soyabeans, beetel leaves,coriander, drumstick, fenugreek leaves, milk products, almonds, dry grapes, groundnut ,apples.

Things to be avoided

Pickles,salt rich snacks,papads,cooldrinks, coffee and tea.
With all this women should do EXERCISE regularly which will make the body to absorb calcium properly from the food we have taken. If we take calcium from childhood onwards we can prevent old age problems.
