Drinking calcium-enriched soy milk and eating soy yoghurt provides about the same amount of calcium as milk. While calcium is not naturally present in soy milk, it is fortified with calcium.
Another way is to switch to low-fat versions of milk as these are often higher in calcium than full-fat milk, so a smaller serve will provide a reasonable amount of calcium.

For those people who are lactose-intolerant, fermented milk products including yoghurts, mature cheeses such as cheddar cheese, and butter tend to cause fewer problems.
Evaporated milk, and other heat-treated milk products, are more easily tolerated because the processing breaks down some of the lactose.
Because calcium is so important to children and adolescents, you may need to talk to your doctor about supplementation if you feel they are not getting enough.
“I really think that with kids we should not be medicating them, but sometimes it may be worthwhile having a chat with your doctor who might recommend supplements,” says Dr Papalia.

Our bodies need calcium daily because it is used for all sorts of other bodily functions. If it falls below a certain level in the blood, our bodies will leech calcium from our bones to make up the difference.
“As we get older, we are losing bone because of the effects of ageing. Dr Papalia says. “What we are trying to do is slow down the effects of that loss of bone – that’s why you still need to meet your recommended daily intakes at all ages.”
