OSTEOPOROSIS is defined as the conditon where there is a loss of bone density leading to bones becoming brittle. Common signs of osteoporosis include backache, a stooped posture and increased risk of fractures. If calcium intake is not sufficient, the body starts taking calcium from the bones. Therefore, calcium intake should match USRDA (United States Recommended Dietary Allowance). USRDA of calcium for adults in 800mg per day. Skimmed Milk meets this requirement exaclty. Just two glasses of Skimz a day provides 1300 mg of calcium compared to 900mg of full cream milk without the extra fat.
