Calcium is one of the most necessary minerals for the human body.

In addition to its undeniable value for strengthening bones and teeth, calcium keeps blood vessels healthy and regulates blood pressure.

Dairy products have long been described as the main sources of calcium.

However, these products are not the only ones that are rich sources of this mineral so necessary for bones and more.

An adult needs 1000 milligrams of calcium a day (about three glasses of milk a day) to have healthy teeth and bones.

Read below the list prepared by AgroWeb for foods that can replace regular milk to get the necessary daily dose of calcium.

Wild herbs and herbs

Two cups of wild cabbage leaves contain 188 milligrams of calcium. You can eat these leaves cooked or not.

Broccoli and spinach are excellent sources of this mineral.

One piece of raw broccoli contains 71 milligrams of calcium.

A medium arginine contains 25 milligrams of calcium.

According to experts, the body manages to absorb 40-60 percent of calcium from plant sources, but it always needs to be accompanied by vitamin D.

Tofu

It is often described as a "vegetarian cheese."

Tofu is a very healthy alternative to animal products.

115 grams of tofu contains the same amount of calcium as milk.

almonds

Do not hesitate to consume almonds at any time of the day.

A serving of 20 almonds contains 72 milligrams of calcium.

Almonds are also rich in potassium, vitamin E and iron.

Rice milk

Rice milk, like any other alternative, is enriched with calcium and vitamin D which helps and facilitates the absorption of this mineral by the body.

One serving of this milk fulfills 30-40 percent of the necessary daily dose of calcium.

White beans

Legumes in general are a fantastic source of calcium and iron.

One cup of beans contains 191 milligrams of calcium.

Black beans are also rich in calcium, potassium and other essential minerals

A half cup of these beans provides 185 milligrams of calcium./ AgroWeb.org
