And according to a new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, daughters are following moms example at the dinner table. Researchers from Oregon State University in Corvallis found that some daughters are patterning their milk consumption qfter their mothers, a practice that may help reduce their future risk of osteoporosis.

Today, more than 8 million Americans suffer from osteoporosis, and 7 million are at high risk due to low bone mass. Eighty percent of these individuals are women. Due to an increase in life expectancy, the world1 wide incidence of osteoporosis is pre- dicted to increase three-fol- d over the next 60 years. Researchers agree that osteoporosis us preventable and treatable. One of best strategies to prevent the disease is maintain adequate calcium intake, starting early in life to build peak bone nutrition at Purdue University. For example, a pet son would need to consume nearly 8 cups of spinach to absorb the amount of calcium absorbed from one cup of milk. she said. Spinach may offer calcium, but it also contains substances that can reduce absorption. Calcium found in other leafy greens may be better absorbed, but large quantities would need to be eaten to contribute sufficient amounts of calcium. Today, there is a milk or dairy food for everyone.

Yet bones aren't built on calcium alone. Weaver offers these immediate strategies to help women reduce the risk of osteoporosis: "Include three or more servings of dairy foods iri your meal plan each day.
