Lactose intolerant
According to Dr Sundardas Annamalay of Natural Therapies Pte Ltd, Asians tend to be lactose-intolerant so downing milk is not always the best way to get calcium. Try other healthy sources like tofu, almonds, brazil nuts, salmon, sardines, broccoli, cauliflower, soybeans, seaweed and molasses. If you just love your j milk, the recommended daily intake of calcium is 800 to 1000mg for adults up to 50 years of age.
