Women over 40 might fall into this calcium trap. Here's a dietitian's tip for avoiding it

A dietitian’s guidance for women over 40 focuses on avoiding a potential calcium shortfall that can undermine healthy aging. The article notes that with minimal dairy and only small amounts of fortified plant milks, intake may fall below the 1,000 mg of calcium women in their 40s need daily, rising to 1,300 mg after age 50. It also flags a second risk: drinking lemon water daily can increase the chance of tooth-enamel erosion, recommending it be consumed with meals or through a straw. The piece suggests calcium sources including firm tofu, canned salmon or sardines with bones, tahini, almonds, and calcium-fortified soy milk. It adds that egg protein is heavily concentrated in the yolk and that Jess Wilson serves as an ambassador for Happy Mammoth.
