Dairy-Free Calcium Sources

It is recommended to consume 3 cups of milk/yogurt per day to ensure we receive enough calcium to keep our bones strong and avoid osteoporosis.  Many people are lactose intolerant or simply do not like milk or yogurt. Here's a list of a few dairy-free foods high in calcium:

    Fortified cereal, orange juice or soy milk
    Salmon with the bones
    Collards, spinach, turnip greens
    Tofu and soybeans

Vitamin D is also very important for bone health - more to come on vitamin D!
