Calcium rich foods help support the healthy growth of teeth and bones and it also plays a part in overall body weight, with anti-cancer and heart health benefits as well. Though milk and milk products are the highest in calcium, not all can consume it due to lactose intolerance. Well, you need not just rely on dairy products for calcium; there are many other easily available sources too!<\/p>\n

The impressive feature of almonds is that they\u2019re often regarded as being healthy, but seldom get referenced for their calcium content. Almonds contain plenty of fibre as well as healthy fats and calcium, which is why they\u2019re so good at helping to make a meal satisfying. A handful of almonds makes a great snack, and also provides you with protein and fibre, a big reason why it does such a good job of curbing your appetite until your next meal.<\/p>\n
A 100 gram serving of tofu gives you more than a third of the calcium you need for the day! Tofu is also a good source of non-animal protein, and has a similar texture to meat which makes it a great meat replacement in hundreds of popular dishes. It also contains a generous amount of iron, so you\u2019re getting multiple benefits from eating it.<\/p>\n
Chia seeds are not the direct sources of calcium, but they help body absorb it from other sources. So, if you want to supply your body with calcium, you need to incorporate chia seeds into your diet to actually let the calcium benefit you. Chia seeds contain magnesium and boron- trace minerals that aid in the body\u2019s absorption of calcium.<\/p>\n
Hemp milk is a great alternative to dairy milk as it does not contain lactose and added fats. It is a great source of calcium and can used just as you use milk. Apart from calcium, it also provides omega 3 fatty acids and vitamins A, D (helps convert sunlight to calcium) and E.<\/p>\n
Beans are a great source of calcium, especially navy beans, black beans, white beans and pinto beans. Have them regularly as a daily dose of calcium, especially if you suffer from weak and brittle bones and teeth. Put them in your soups, salads, sandwiches, smoothies (yes, smoothies too), pastas, chicken gravy etc.<\/p>\n
