Question

Chapter 8 Case Study Question (could be worth 18 points in a message board!) When Ernie turned 60 years old he started to pay attention to health reports in the media. He had always thought that osteoporosis was something that happened to women, so he was surprised to learn that older men can also develop osteoporosis. He knows he needs to make sure his diet contains enough calcium, but he does not like to drink milk. He also has stopped putting cheese on sandwiches and burgers because he knows it is high in saturated fat and cholesterol. He grabs a granola bar on the way to work in the morning and stops at a coffee shop to pick up some coffee. He has a sandwich, chips, and juice for lunch and sometimes has cookies in the afternoon. He and his family have dinner at home about half of the time; the other nights they eat fast food or go out to eat. What ways could Ernie increase his calcium intake (ie food, other ways)? .
