If you don’t like drinking milk, you still don’t have to starve your body of calcium. Simply opt for cheese as an alternative or try some yogurt salads or simple yogurt a few times each week. The other option is to have calcium tablets. Now, we’ve always heard that kids need calcium, but truth is even women need it as much, and it’s not only when you’re pregnant.

As such, make sure you take calcium supplements because even if you think your body weight is sufficient, it’s not. What if your bones are weak or already weakening? Protect yourself and safeguard the possibility of your bones being highly brittle with age.

Strengthen your bones while there is time. So next time, you serve your child a glass of milk, make sure you do the same for yourself. If not, then sip away at milkshakes or even coffee for that matter, as long as you don’t sideline your calcium needs ad all will be fine on the health frontier.
