Do seniors over 60 years old need to eat foods high in calcium every day?

People above 70 need more calcium and vitamin D to help sustain their bone health than the amount they needed in their younger years. To meet these needs, choose calcium-rich foods and beverages and aim for three servings of low-fat dairy products every day.
Other sources of calcium include:
• Fortified cereals and fruit juices
• Dark green leafy vegetables
• Canned fish with soft bones
• Fortified plant-based beverages
• Green leafy vegetables such as kale and okra
• Milk, cheese, and other dairy foods

Sources of vitamin D include:
• Fatty fish, such as salmon
• Red meat
• Liver
• Egg yolks
• Fortified foods, like breakfast cereals
• Mushrooms
• Spinach
• Orange
If you take a calcium multivitamin or supplement, it’s advisable to choose one that contains vitamin D.
