I love the quick takes and can actually do this. I’ll skip the sardines though.
Broccoli offers one of the highest forms of calcium. Be careful, don’t cook it too much or nutrients are lost. Raw is the best form for nutrient consumption.
i love sardines!
I eat yogurt every day – I love it! I’ve seen some articles that say it is good for your mouth too, it helps protect your teeth and fight gum diseases.
? love ideas on getting calcium from foods other than milk products. I could eat brocoli at every meal.
I love to add cottage cheese to my salad. This gives me an extra helping of calcium too!
