Calcium is an essential nutrient that is important for building and maintaining strong bones and teeth. Here are some examples of calcium-rich foods:
- Dairy products: Milk, yogurt, and cheese are all high in calcium.
- Leafy greens: Kale, collard greens, spinach, and turnip greens are all good sources of calcium.
- Fortified foods: Many foods are fortified with calcium, including tofu, orange juice, and some cereals.
- Seafood: Canned salmon and sardines are high in calcium, as are oysters and shrimp.
- Beans and lentils: These legumes are good sources of calcium, as well as protein and fiber.
- Nuts and seeds: Almonds, sesame seeds, and chia seeds are all high in calcium.
- Vegetables: Broccoli, okra, and Chinese cabbage are all good sources of calcium.
A diet rich in calcium can help prevent osteoporosis and maintain good bone health.
