I just got my blood work back from the "fair"-not MY idea of a fair - didn't see any cotton candy or merry-go-rounds, but I digress............
My Calcium was low - YIKES - I don't fashion myself with a hunch in my 70's, so I will be faithful with my Calcium from now on. My Pharmacist husband will see to it if I don't!!!
I also feel a certain desire to act as a Cal-Nag
Take Your Calcium, Young Lady!!!

I have to take a myriad of medications. I keep them in one of those plastic shoeboxes. Once a week I dole out my meds in the little daily dispenser thing.
Of course my calcium is in there.2008 Trek FX 7.2/Terry Cite X

I take my calcium. My bone scan shows I have real strong dense bones. Osteoporosis is prevalent in my family so I've paid careful attention to my calcium intake for most of my life.
I saw a lady this afternoon whom I hadn't seen in about 7 years. She is my age. She kept saying, wow Darcy, you look so great, you look so young. I didn't know what to say in return because I was shocked at how she looked; her face was quite wrinkled, with flesh drooping and sagging and a lot of skin blemishes. Anyway, she said she got diagnosed with osteoporosis several years ago; it is her only medical condition and she is healthy otherwise. I mention all of this because maybe low calcium ages the face too, or maybe the people who are careful with the calcium are careful with all of their nutrients and so their skin doesn't age as fast. Just a thought.

Taking sufficient calcium is a bit of prob for me.
Growing up in dairy country NZ, I had my fair share of milk, icecream, cheese and other yummy dairy products.
But since I hit my 20's, my tummy doesn't always take to well to lactose. Some days I'm alright, some days are shockers.
I had a grandma who had osteoporosis, and I don't want that go down that road.
So, I'm considering getting calcium tablets, so I don't go without.
And I'm alright with some yogourts & cheeses, so I try to focus on those foods. But I do like my milk & icecream, so somedays I risk an upset tummy to indulge in some hokey pokey icecream - YUMMY!
Happy riding
