Many foods are excellent sources of calcium. If you're not
taking supplements or consuming dairy or calcium-fortified
products, you may not be getting enough calcium in your diet.
These food sources have been identified by the National
Institute of Child Health and Human Development as being high
in calcium:
* 1 oz. of cooked dried white beans: 161 mg of calcium
* 1/2 cup spinach: 122 mg of calcium
* ½ 1/2 cup turnip greens: 99 mg calcium
* ½ 1/2 cup soybeans, cooked: 90 mg
* 1 cup broccoli, cooked or fresh: 90 mg
* ½ 1/2 cup bok choy, cooked or fresh: 80 mg
* 1 oz. dry-roasted almonds: 80 mg
* 3 oz. salmon, canned with bones: 180 mg
(Figs have a lot of calcium, but they also have bugs.)
Don't forget to exercise vigorously three times a week!
