can help keep energy up.
Although exercise plays an important role in
keeping bones strong, calcium and other nutrients
play another important role. Most Americans are
not getting the recommended amount of calcium
in their diet, increasing their risk for osteoporosis.
Physically active people should include low-fat and
fat-free dairy foods on their training table to help
nourish their body and improve and maintain
healthy bones. Here are recommendations made
by the Food and Nutrition Board, Institute of
Medicine on how much calcium people should be
getting each day, based on their age: ages 4-8
need 800 mg of calcium; ages 9-18 need 1,300 mg
of calcium; ages 19-50 need 1,000 mg of calcium;
and ages 51 and over need 1,200 mg of calcium.
Each one cup serving of milk provides about
300 mg of calcium.
Growing Years
Teens and kids need even more calcium each
day during this bone-building period to keep
their bones strong and their bodies growing.
For adolescents to help meet the 1,300 mg
calcium recommendation, the American Academy
of Pediatrics recommends four servings of
low-fat or fat-free milk or equivalent milk products
per day.
Staying Hydrated
It’s important to drink plenty of fluids throughout
the day, especially before, during and after
physical activity. Dehydration can affect
performance and can be very dangerous.
Low-fat and fat-free milk not only contains
protein and carbohydrates that provide energy,
but is also 90% water, making it a nutrient-packed
thirst quencher. For those who want a flavor burst,
a single-serve container of flavored milk, such as
chocolate or strawberry, has the same nutrients
as regular milk and offers a great beverage choice.
