Yum foods to increase your Calcium

🦴💪 Did you know most of us need at least 1000mg of calcium each day? Women over 50 and everyone over 70 should aim for 1200mg, and kids need 1300mg daily! Almost 99% of calcium is stored in our bones, while a small amount in the blood helps keep our heart, muscles, and nerves working smoothly.

But here’s the catch—if you’re not getting enough calcium from your diet, your body will start leeching it from your bones. Over time, this can lead to weakened bones and a higher risk of osteoporosis.

For years, we’ve been told to drink cow’s milk for calcium, but guess what? You can easily hit your daily calcium needs through plant-based foods! 🌿✨

So, the next time someone says you need a glass of milk for calcium, think again! 💚
