Dairy Foods

Strong bones are an essential part of a strong, healthy body. Dairy foods are high in calcium, which helps maintain bone health. Dairy products are important not only for growing children, but also for maintaining bone health in adults.

The most known source of calcium is milk, but there are other foods that are good sources of calcium, such as yogurt, natural and processed cheese, cottage cheese, and calcium-fortified juices.

When choosing dairy, it’s important to make wise choices. For example, choosing fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk is a healthier choice. If you’re not used to the taste of low-fat or fat-free milk, make the transition gradually until you’re accustomed to the taste. However, it is important

to remember that children between 12 and 24 months should drink whole milk.

Items such as cream cheese, cream, and butter contain very little calcium, so limit your consumption of these items.

Choosing plain milk over flavored milk is also a wise choice because flavored milk products have added sugars.

Children between the ages of two and three need 2 cups of dairy each day. Four to eight-year-olds need 2½ cups per day, and children over nine years old need 3 cups per day.

Save Money While Boosting Your Calcium

There are many ways that we can boost our calcium intake while saving money at the grocery store:

Buy store brand yogurt, cheeses, and milk instead of name brands.

Use powdered milk when a recipe calls for milk.

Shred cheese from a block rather than paying more for shredded cheese. Buying a stronger flavored cheese, like sharp cheddar, will allow you to use less and still get a good, cheese flavor.

Check the “sell by” date to avoid tossing dairy products before they can be used.
