Calcium In Your Diet

Bookmark on -

Calcium is one of the essential minerals required by the body to maintain strong muscles and teeth. It also helps in the absorption of various other types of minerals in the muscles. It is particularly required for working and athlete men and women. However most of the times due to hectic routine we generally skip all those foods that have high calcium. Check the foods that you should consume daily to resist different types of bone diseases caused due to the lack of calcium.

Vegetables:

Consume enough green vegetables like broccoli, okra, spinach, squash, turnips etc. It is best to have them raw because calcium is a mineral whose value is wasted.

Milk:

Milk is one of the richest source of calcium found in the food materials. The milk of the cow just two weeks after the delivery of the calf is considered to be the richest source of calcium. However most of the calcium when consumed by humans is lost because they are meant for the cows. Also over boiling of the milk results in the loss of calcium. In market there is calcium fortified milk and soya milk they are better.

Fish:

Sardines, tuna, Anchovies with bones that are tined and consumed all over Japan are very rich source of calcium. Calcium fortified tofu is another source.

Dairy Products:

Cheese and yogurt are very good source of calcium.

Vitamins:

Many vitamins facilitate the absorption of calcium in the body. Among them most important is the Vitamin D. Blackstrap molasses also contain high content of calcium.

Avoid Bad habits;

Bad habits and addiction like tobacco, alcohol etc hinders the absorption of calcium. Avoid them if you can.

Artificial calcium Supplements:

If you are too busy and cannot follow such strict diet regime then go for the calcium supplements that have up to 90 percent calcium content.
