Calcium is one of those supplement-vitamin-mineral things, you may have heard of it.
It has been said to be the mineral most likely to be deficient in the average diet. Why aren't we giving it the attention it deserves? Calcium is AWESOME for you! It is vital for your bones & teeth. But it also helps weight loss (some articles say it helps you not store fat around your stomach too!), protects your heart, and *bonus* helps improve PMS!
Most of us were raised to think we could only get the Calcium we need through Milk. Well of course Milk, Cheese, and Yogurt are all rich in Calcium---but since we have to watch our dairy intake (especially anyone trying to lose weight) here are a few fabulous foods that contain Calcium & of course, you can always just buy supplements at your local health food store.
Salmon
Spinach
Peas
Broccoli
and even Almonds
Be a Healthier You & Include more Calcium in your diet!

Good Post, I learned something new!
ReplyDeleteMilk products are over rated as far as calcium goes. Because of pasteurization all the enzymes that help you absorb the calcium are missing. So while milk products contain calcium you don't absorb it! If you take a supplement make sure it has magnesium as well. Coral calcium is excellent. Calcium and vitamin help prevent cancer as well!
