Non Dairy Foods High in Calcium

Aging is a mistake, Healthy Hormones, Sugar and Food Addiction

If I don’t eat dairy, how do I get enough calcium? You get lots of calcium from various vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables such as kale, as well as broccoli and sesame seeds. Calcium is readily available in many foods. Better yet, these foods are alkaline producing, so the body can actually use the calcium it gets from them.

Dairy products actually do not provide sufficient calcium. The countries with the highest dairy consumption are also the ones with highest osteoporosis levels! Dairy is one of the most acidic foods on the pH scale and calcium is the number one mineral the body uses to buffer against excess acidity.

There is just never enough calcium in any dairy product to offset the acid-producing effect it has. So you actually end up losing calcium when you eat dairy products, not gaining it! Shocking, right? Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to drink your milk in order to get your calcium.

Here are foods high in calcium that don’t come from a cow: Read More

Hi Nancy,
Thank you for passing along this list of calcium rich foods. Often when I talk about my diet of more veggies, less meat and dairy, the first question that comes up is “where do I get my calcium from? I am now better equipped to answer that question. I use so many of the foods you listed daily, either in my morning green drink, or in my raw breakfast cereal.
I really appreciate the information you share so willingly with us.
