National Healthy Bones Week has been a national joint initiative between Dairy Australia and Osteoporosis Australia for the past 14 years, highlighting the important role of calcium-rich foods, such as dairy, in the development and maintenance of healthy bones and prevention of osteoporosis.
This year, we’re ‘Lifting the Lid on Lunch’ and focusing on the benefits of consuming a calcium rich lunch at primary school to maximise peak bone mass.
Dairy Australia and Osteoporosis Australia are putting a call out to students to nominate ‘Australia’s best bone-building school canteen.’ This exciting initiative encourages students to consider the health benefits of the foods available for lunch
from the school canteen and gain an understanding of calcium and
other nutrients needed for growth and development of bones.
