May adolescent girls and and women consume large quantities of soft drinks or tea and coffee rather than milk. How could this affect calcium intake? How could this relate to the development of osteoporosis later in life? What can women do to prevent osteoporosis? Keep in mind that not everyone can eat dairy foods because of allergies to milk and/or lactose intolerance.

Weight-bearing exercise helps; like walking.

If you do not get enough calcium you could very well end up with osteoporosis. To prevent osteoporosis, talk with your doctor before adding all kinds of supplements. There are some great products on the market that taste great! But the best bet is to talk with your doctor.

A person can take calcium supplements without the problem of drinking milk. I believe osteo is related to body frame and heredity also.
