3 Dairy-free Sources of Rich Calcium for Lactose Intolerant People

Calcium is a vital mineral for our health, and milk is one of the best sources. Since childhood, we are compelled to drink a glass of milk daily because it is high in calcium, which helps to strengthen our bones and teeth. Additionally, it is necessary for muscle function and nerve signaling. However, what if you dislike milk or are lactose intolerant? Do not be concerned. You can still get your daily calcium requirement by including calcium-rich seeds and vegetables in your diet. 

1. Chia seeds: Daily consumption of 45 grams of chia seeds provides the same amount of calcium as a glass of milk. This can help maintain the health of your bones, teeth, and nails. 
2. Sesame seeds: Contains 300 mg of calcium in 30 grams. By incorporating it into your salad or smoothie on a daily basis, you can help reduce your risk of developing knee osteoarthritis. 
3. Leafy green vegetables: Additionally, dark, leafy greens are an excellent source of calcium. Only 150 to 200 grams of these green leaves contain an adequate amount of calcium.

Additionally, kidney beans, dried moringa, almonds, figs, tofu, broccoli, sweet potato, sunflower seeds, ladyfingers, and oranges are excellent sources of calcium. Fill your plate with vibrant foods to ensure that you are meeting your daily nutrient requirements.
