Dear Red Hot Mamas,
My doctor suggested told me incorporate more calcium in my diet to prevent osteoporosis. I do not like to take supplements, so I am looking for help with food choices. Thank you for your suggestions.

Dear Loretta,
Here are some good choices for you to consider when adding calcium rich-foods to your diet:
- Almonds
- Yogurt
- Cheese
- Milk
- Oranges
- Broccoli
- Kale
- Bok Choy
- Collard greens
- Spinach
- Canned sardines or salmon
- White beans
- Calcium-fortified cereals and/or juices
- Tofu
Getting enough calcium per day can help keep your bones strong and reduce bone loss and may lower your risk of fractures. So, try to eat more calcium-rich foods.
