osteoporosis
We all know that at least in some manner, consumption of calcium is important against osteoporosis (porous bones.) But other than taking calcium pills--which should have both magnesium and boron included--what foods are rich in calcium? And how do you know which calcium pills are better absorbed in the body?
Testing calcium pills ... drop a tablet into 6 ounces of room temperature vinegar. Stir every 3 minutes. Pill should dissolve within 30 minutes if apparently easily absorbed by the body. If it doesn't dissolve, try another type of calcium pill. Poor dissolving is less bone-helpful.
Following is a list of calcium-rich bone-helping foods:
Non-fat milk (you knew that.) And, low-fat yogurt, broccoli,
cauliflower, soy beans, almonds, salmon and dark green leafy vegetables.
Another tip: Vitamin D. If one takes calcium pills, one should take at least
400mg. of vitamin D, which regulates calcium in the blood.
