Ageing well with dairy

As Australians live longer, preventing falls and fractures becomes more than a health priority, it’s quality-of-life.

The science is compelling: older people who eat a minimum of 3.5 serves of dairy a day are:

✔️ 11% less likely to fall
✔️ 33% less likely to experience any fracture
✔️ 46% less likely to suffer hip fractures

All with dairy foods like milk, cheese and yoghurt.

The calcium and protein in dairy foods make them much more effective at improving muscle mass and bone strength than supplements alone

And for older Australians, the benefits of delicious dairy foods can be as simple as:

🥛 Milk after a walk
🥣 Yoghurt as an afternoon snack
🧀 Cheese with an evening meal

Small additions. Big impact.
