In this episode of Healthy Her, host Amelia Phillips is joined by the much loved orthopaedic surgeon Dr Vonda Wright to discuss our bone health and how important calcium intake is. They discuss how much calcium we need (hint: it goes UP as we age), the best sources of calcium, and why it's not so easy to just supplement with calcium. They also discuss the confusion around dairy products and whether they are helpful or not for women in midlife.
