Food for Thought Friday – Calcium
You need calcium in order to maintain strong bones and to allow your muscles, heart and nerves to function properly. Some people can’t tolerate dairy and it’s actually on the high side in sugar (lactose). Fortunately, there are many non-dairy sources of calcium. These include:
- Kale
- Almonds
- Collard greens
- Sardines
- Bok Choy
- Salmon
- Chia seeds
- White beans
Bottom line: consume a variety of whole foods in order to optimize your intake on beneficial vitamins and minerals.
