When I recommend that patients avoid cow’s dairy in their diet, one of the most common questions I get asked is “how will I get my calcium?”
The most bioavailable, how much our body absorbs of that nutrient, forms of calcium are from food sources not cow’s dairy.
Here FIVE calcium-rich foods that are non-dairy and non-fortified sources:
- Green Leafy Vegetables such as spinach, kale, collard greens
- Broccoli
- Kelp
- Navy Beans
- Almonds
