A new study has shown that 2 or more servings of dairy a day in childhood is associated with higher mean Adolescent Bone Mineral Content and Bone Area .
“Dairy is a rich source of Calcium which is necessary for bone health and growth” says Urbod Nutritionist Amanda Atkins.
“However, calcium can also be found in fish and green leafy vegetables such as spinach and spring greens. It must be recognised that calcium is not the only nutrient important for bone health. Vitamin D, Magnesium and Boron are also important and are found in a varied diet of fish, fruit, vegetables, whole grains and legumes."
