Calcium Counts
More than a third of Australians over 60 will have a fracture due to weak bones. Don't be one of them!
Nearly half of Australians do not get enough calcium, causing their bones to become weak
As we age, our bones become even weaker (osteopenia) until they can become so fragile they are likely to break (osteoporosis).
Adults need 1000-1300mg of calcium per day to keep their bones strong. But our bodies can only utilise about 500mg at a time. So we need to eat calcium-rich foods throughout the day.
