5 Calcium Rich Foods That Aren’t Milk

 

According to the National Institutes of Health, calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and it’s also essential to the building of strong bones and a healthier metabolism. Now interestingly enough, if you were to quiz a few random people, many would tell you that one of the best sources of calcium is a good ol’ fashioned glass of milk. Hey, blame it on those Got Milk commercials and great marketing!

But what if you’re not a fan of milk or dairy, but still looking to up your calcium intake?

No need to worry at all because there are quite a few non-dairy foods that pack a serious calcium punch, and in this Fit 411 episode I’ll share 5 of them!
