SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on selecting a calcium-rich food to bring to a class of 30 students as part of a project on osteoporosis prevention. Participants suggest that foods containing milk, such as cheese or yogurt, are ideal due to their high calcium content. A specific recommendation includes using Kraft macaroni and cheese, although concerns about serving logistics are raised. Additionally, a resource is provided for further exploration of calcium-rich recipes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of osteoporosis and its dietary implications
  • Knowledge of calcium-rich foods and their benefits
  • Familiarity with serving logistics for large groups
  • Basic research skills to find nutritional information
NEXT STEPS
  • Research calcium-rich recipes suitable for large groups
  • Explore alternatives to Kraft macaroni and cheese for easier serving
  • Investigate the role of vitamin D in calcium absorption
  • Learn about other nutrients that support bone health
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for nutritionists, educators, and anyone involved in dietary planning for osteoporosis prevention or interested in serving healthy meals to large groups.

Homework Statement



I’m doing a project on osteoporosis and part of it involves bringing in a sample recipe which would be a part of a diet attempting to prevent or cure osteoporosis. The recipe must be rich in something such as calcium because osteoporosis weakens bones which need calcium. Calcium, a mineral, is found in things such as milk.
What food could I bring into the class for 30 students to eat which contains calcium? I was thinking of something such as kraft macaroni and cheese but that would be hard to serve to a group of students. Anyone have any ideas?


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



The food should probably contain milk (even if it is in dry form) because milk contains calcium.

Try this;

Google "osteoporosis" and click in the first reference, www.FORE.org[/URL]
Click on "treatment", then "eat right", then "calcium rich". That should take you to some recipies. Good luck.
