Calcium is not just good for your bones. It's a real aid to faster weight loss. A recent study found that obese people who increased their calcium intake from 600 to 1,200 milligram lost six times as much weight as the women who did not increase their intake.
The recommended daily amount of calcium for people under 50 is 1,000 milligrams per day. For older people over 50, it's 1,200 milligrams per day.
Most of us know that dairy products are high in calcium. But there are some vegetables which are even better per calorie and other nutrients they provide.
Some very calcium rich foods include;
- Spinach - 245 mg calcium per cup
- Collard greens - 226 mg per cup
- Yoghurt - 447 mg per cup
- Goats milk - 325 mg per cup
- Cows milk - 296 mg per cup
- Sesame seeds - 351 mg per one quarter cup
- Tofu - 100 mg per four ounces
