Why Calcium Matters for Women at Every Age

In this video, Dr. Sucheta Malhotra, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at Cloudnine Hospital, Dwarka, New Delhi, explains why calcium is essential at every stage — from infancy to adulthood and beyond. She highlights that newborns receive calcium through their mother’s milk, adolescents need it for bone development, and expectant mothers rely on it to strengthen both their own and their baby’s bones. Dr. Malhotra also emphasises that women in their 40s and beyond should consciously include calcium-rich foods in their diet, as bone density can begin to decline at this age. From milk, curd, and cheese to ragi, almonds, sesame seeds, and leafy greens, she shares easy, everyday dietary sources to help maintain healthy calcium levels and prevent future deficiencies.
