Dairy foods pack a lot of nutrition for healthy bones

May is osteoporosis prevention month and Ellen Wheeler, nutrition educator with the St. Louis Dairy Council says three servings a day can help prevent the bone weakening condition. She says our calcium needs increase as we age…we need it for our bones to grow and stay strong.  In addition, vitamin D needs to go hand in hand with calcium for the best results.
