during an Osteoporosis Preven

Sponsored by the Pennsylva

regional Dairy Councils, the
event kicked off with opening
statements by Pennsylvania Phy
sician General Dr. Robert S.
Muscalus and Ridge. Both stress
ed the importance of consuming
calcium-rich dairy products and
exercising as ways to prevent os
teoporosis, a crippling bone dis
ease.
Osteoporosis often is associat

velop silently for years, putting
even the young at risk. “Too

instead of milk,” Ridge said.
“Many of these same children
also sit and watch television or
play video games instead of exer
cising.”
Good nutrition and healthy
lifestyle habits are key to pre
venting osteoporosis, according
to Muscalus. “In most cases, os
teoporosis can be prevented by
eating a balanced diet rich in cal
cium and vitamin D; by partici
pating in regular, weight-bearing
exercise; by not smoking; and by
avoiding alcohol use,” he said.

said Pat Kennedy, MS, RD,
Dairy Council’s Health Profes
sional Programs Coordinator.
“Working with the Department
of Health and other key influ
ences will help us even more to
get the word out on the impor
tance of consuming dairy prod
ucts for osteoporosis prevention.’
According to the National Os
teoporosis Foundation, Pennsyl
vania is one of the leading states
in the number of osteoporosis
sufferers. More than half a mil
lion Pennsylvanians, including
one in two women and one in
eight men over age 50, suffer
from the disease.
“Adequate calcium intake is
crucial in maintaining strong
bones and in preventing this dis
ease,” Kennedy said. “Research
has shown that dairy foods are a
preferred source of calcium in
the diet.”

Get Moo-ving With Milk
Seeking The Next Milk Mustache
COLUMBUS, Ohio Dairy
farmers and milk processors in
Ohio, West Virginia and western
Pennsylvania are working to
gether to help Americans drink
up.
For the third consecutive year,
the “milk mustache” mobile will
be visiting more than 100 cities,
April through October, on a cru
sade to educate Americans about
the importance of physical activ
ity and the vital role milk plays
in staying healthy and fit.
Teaming up with ESPN, the
“Get Moo-ving with Milk Tour”
will encourage participants to in
clude milk in their diets offering
them the chance to test their ath
letic skills against milk celeb
rities in an interactive sports
challenge. At the conclusion of
the tour, one national winner
will be chosen to appear in a
milk ad, sporting their lips, in a
future edition of ESPN The
Magazine.

The calcium and nutrients in
lowfat milk may make it the new
weapon in helping the nation
fight the battle of the bulge and
shape up. New research shows
that besides strengthening bones,
lowfat, calcium-rich milk may
help turn up your body’s fat
burning ability, helping you to
drop weight more easily.
