Calcium Rich Recipes

Calcium Requirements for All


Calcium is a necessity for all … right from a newborn to an aged person, as the body's need for calcium actually increases as one gets older. This is so because bones reach maximum strength and density around age 30, but as we age, our body absorbs calcium from our diet at a lower rate. We need to eat foods high in calcium to make up for this lower absorption and to help maintain the bone strength gained in the former years.

Group

Requirements (per day)
KidsBones and teeth are at a growing stage and hence their need for calcium is high. 0-1 year - 500 mg1-9 years - 400 mg
TeenagersPuberty promotes a quick and rapid growth spurt and so the need for calcium increases 10-18 years - 600 mg
Puberty to Middle AgeFor maintenance of bones and teeth19-49 years - 500 mg
Senior CitizenAs we age the bones lose calcium. Elderly women are at utmost risk of osteoporosis due to calcium loss as a result of hormonal changes (decrease in estrogen levels which otherwise initiates calcium absorption) occurring after menopause. above 50 years - 1000 mg
