How can I get enough calcium?

There are 2 easy ways to get your calcium:

• 1. Eat foods with calcium every day, such as:
  • Fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk, yogurt, and cheese
  • Broccoli, spinach, and other green leafy vegetables
  • Tofu with added calcium
  • Soy-based drinks (soymilk) with added calcium
  • Orange juice with added calcium

• 2. Take a calcium pill every day. You can choose a pill that has only calcium or a multivitamin with calcium. Let your doctor know you are taking extra calcium.
