Other foods do contain significant amounts of calcium. but you hat 6' to eat a large quantity of some foods to equal the amount of calcium in 250 mL milk (see chart for calcium content of foods). Also, vegetables and cereals contain oxalic acid, phytic acid or fibre which interfere with cal- cium absorption. Ideally, calcium should come from your diet. It you have difficulty ob- taining enough calcium. see your doc- tor before taking vitamin supplements. The self-administration of calcium supplements may be dangerous. Dol- omite and bone meal supplements. for example, may contain lead and arsenic which can be toxic. Your doctor can also give you advice about selecting the appropriate supplement since there are many supplements on the market containing \arying amounts of calcium. in addition to diet, exercise (es- pecially weight-bearing exercises such as bicycling, walking, running) also plays an important role in preventing osteoporosis. Exercise places physical stress on the bone which stimulates and increases the bone mass. It also increases the flow of bone-building nutrients to the bone.
