Dieters Need More Calcium
Women on
diets need more calcium than normal to avoid bone loss, say Rutgers University researchers.Studies showed a
weight loss diet of 1.5 pounds a week for 6 weeks cuts absorption of calcium. In 57 postmenopausal dieters it was discovered that those women who took 1,800 mg of calcium a day absorbed 78 percent more calcium than those who took only 1,000 mg a day. To prevent bone loss, women dieting after menopause should get 1,700 mg of calcium a day, the experts say.For more information visit:
