How Much Milk Do We Really Need?

We all know that calcium is a vital part of our health. I thought this was interesting and helpful to know just how much:

Age 1-3 years 14 oz of milk or 500 mg calcium
Age 4-8 years 22 oz of milk or 800 mg calcium
Age 9-18 years 36 oz of milk or 1300 mg of calcium
Age 19-50 years 28 oz of milk or 1000 mg of calcium
Age 51+ years 32 oz of milk or 1200 mg of calcium

Keep those bones healthy and strong! Make sure your family is getting enough calcium in their diet! :)
