It is better to obtain calcium from foods, say those in authority. However, Dear Hearts, 1300mg of calcium per day for our dearest in her 76th year seems an extraordinary amount to digest when ‘dairy’ is not consumed. And why does our dearest not consume dairy?
Our dearest does not consume dairy as this product causes mucous in her respiratory system. This it does, Dear Ones, should our dearest ‘overconsume’.
Aha, internalizes our dearest. We now have her attention…
And how much, asks our dearest, is overconsumption?
For you dearest, overconsumption of the dairy product ‘cheese’ is taking more than enough. And what, for you dearest, is enough? This is the question. For you, dearest, a simple amount of up to 90grams (3oz) of cheese per day is simply enough.
Our dearest is quite aghast. From nothing to 90grams, she spurts.
Indeed so, dearest. Yes, indeed so.
Unless a foodstuff is digested and utilised by the bodily functions, it is overconsumption. However, dearest, you are investing in bone mineralisation by lifting weights, along with various exercises and dance. Yes?
Yes, this is true.
Therefore, dearest, you have certain needs that others have not. By this we mean:
When the body’s load; i.e. exercise routines are as, dare we say – as routine as are your demands upon your body – there is the need to compensate by administering those vitamins and minerals needed by the body to present in the most effective manner. Yes?
Yes, I see your point. I have been struggling to support my body’s energy requirements of late. However, I had not considered dairy; primarily the consumption of cheese as an alternative.
You enjoy cheese, dearest?
I do, I very much enjoy a piece of cheese occasionally.
Providing you are loading your body with the exercise you are currently doing, dearest, 90grams of cheese per day, along with your greens, beans, salmon, nuts, some berries and the occasional meal of chicken, sardines or prawns (shrimp) will be ample calcium intake that your body will absorb and enjoy.
Many Blessings, Dearest. Many Blessings to All

I also enjoy cheese. Good to hear that you can eat it occasionally.
Hi Sheryl, I am also very pleased, though a little surprised by this advice. Cheese hasn’t been a staple for me for many years. But now that I’m concentrating on bone building, plus muscle and fitness in general, adding cheese to my diet is such a welcome addition. Already, I’m thinking of recipes I can make!
🤗 😋 🥘
Needs vary with age, health, and vitamin D levels. Food works beautifully for many people, while others (like me) may need additional support. Healthy routines often start in childhood, and adapting to them later can be difficult; that’s where I struggle. Thank you for the helpful reminder about calcium, Carolyn.
Absolutely agree, Mohamad, my dietary needs have changed throughout the years. I am very aware of the body’s need of Vit D3, as you mentioned, for many reasons – one being as a compliment to calcium transportation throughout the body. Even though I live in sunny Australia I ensure I supplement with D3 daily.
I recently had a Dexa Scan (bone density scan) and was made aware of the need to increase calcium uptake (plus other vitamins and minerals).
Our bodies need constant appraisal regarding their needs. And this is where I find myself today – eating my way to better health! Not a chore – I love good food… 🤗
May God bless you with good health all your life and keep that beautiful smile always, Carolyn.
I love cheese and dairy but live a dairy free life, for health reasons. Most people with autoimmune diseases or chronic pain diseases react to dairy. It causes inflammation and pain. I always had trouble with my sinuses, the moment I let dairy go, my sinuses cleared up.
Personally, I think everything is good in moderation (if you don’t have health problems). I now cherish the vegan cheeses now and then, because they are so darn expensive (what isn’t).
I too have lived dairy free for many years, mucous in the chest was not pleasant. So sorry to hear about your ‘health issues’ – and yet you’ve found a good solution.
I make a vegan cheese with tofu, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, oil and garlic/onion powder that tastes quite good – and is less expensive than the store bought varieties.
I’m happy, though, to give the real thing a go. I always loved ricotta cheese. Cross your fingers for me… 🤗
“Nutritional Yeast” isn’t it fantastic. Where would I be without it.
Amazing flavour! I use it with many recipes. And as a topper on meals like vegan lasagna it’s fabulous. Hail to whoever discovered its applications! 😋
My favorite primary physician was a vegan (she retired last year) and she gave me lots of tips and I always left her office armed with information and links to studies that backed up what she talked about. She was very clear that dairy does indeed give you calcium, but the protein in the dairy actually saps calcium from the bones, so the best we get is a wash. I do miss cheese, but indulge in the once in a while small piece of a local goat cheese. It does not seem to bother me, but I keep it a rare treat. I don’t really care for the vegan cheeses, but do love tofu. Dark leafy greens also have a lot of calcium.
And there’s dancing!!!
I hear you, Dorothy. I too have this understanding which is one reason I was quite surprised by the advice. I too do not enjoy the vegan cheeses, preferring the homemade tofu type cheeses instead. However, The C.C. have never ‘led me astray’, so to speak – there’s always good reason for their advice even if I don’t quite understand at the time.
Armed with this trust I’ll do as they advise but clearly with the view that there may be greater learning to be had. I’ll definitely keep posting should I feel the need to do updates.
And yes, leafy greens are a daily staple. And social dancing, with its myriad of benefits is on the increase as K’s knee improves. 😃 Yay…
Charlee: “Ooh, our Dada takes a calcium supplement in the form of calcium citrate but it’s not because he is low on calcium, it’s because a doctor friend told him once that it may help prevent calcium oxalate kidney stones.”Oona: “Does it work?”Charlee: “Well, he hasn’t had another kidney stone since he started taking it, so …”Lulu: “Don’t forget to knock wood after saying that!”
I’ve read that calcium citrate is the best source, if taking a supplement. So well done to Dada. Do not want him to have another kidney stone for sure…
There are so many options – different foods, supplements. I’ll give ‘diet’ a try first, then test again for any improvement. But, I do have an open mind, Charlee. I’ll be like Ooona, and question, question, question! 😎
