“Calcium-Rich Recipes” is a collection of 36 recipes compiled using calcium-rich ingredients like dairy products, leafy vegetables, nuts and pulses. To give a clearer idea about what a lack of calcium can mean to our bodies, I have included a section on ‘Calcium Deficiency’ that covers the basic facts like what is calcium deficiency, and what are its causes, symptoms and consequences. Of course, the rest of the book goes on to tell you just how to prevent and overcome this deficiency with a calcium-rich diet.

A unique feature of the book is the chart providing calcium requirements for people of different ages, right from infants to senior citizens. Though we should ideally start building our calcium reserves right from childhood, it is never too late to catch up. You can begin right away by taking advantage of the chart and the recipes, which are divided into three sections in keeping with the chart. Thus you have Calcium-Rich Recipes for Kids, Adults and Senior Citizens.

Here’s wishing you strong bones and healthy teeth for a lifetime!
