Which Foods Have the Most Calcium?

Which Foods Have the Most Calcium?

Drinking a glass of vitamin D-fortified milk is one of the best ways to get your calcium. 

Other dairy products vary in their calcium content. 

Yogurt and cheese are better choices than ice cream or frozen yogurt. 

Fish, such as sardines and salmon, are good sources. 

Fortified foods, such as cereals and orange juice, can also provide a lot of calcium.

My first yogurt to make smoothie

Believe it or not. Today, 2013-05-12, I bought yogurt for the first time and up to now, I have not taken any yogurt in my whole life. I just bought 2 cups of Marigold brand yogurt ( low fat, natural with calcium, 140 grams each ) at S$1.65 from Econ provision shop nearby. I would use the yogurt mainly to make non-green smoothie for my family.

Sip a smoothie on your way to work or school to get optimal nutrition in the morning.

The Mayo Clinic explains that it's easy to whip up a homemade, nutritious smoothie at home by combining a handful of chopped fruit or berries with a serving of plain low-fat yogurt and a spoonful of wheat germ in a blender and processing them until they're smooth. Sweeten it with a small squeeze of honey, if desired.

This beverage contains fiber, calcium and protein, as well as essential vitamins, such as vitamin C, and minerals from the fruit.

Should I take yogurt? Any benefits of yohurt?

“Your intestine’s condition will worsen if you take yogurt everyday. I can say this with confidence based on my clinical observation. If you eat yogurt everyday, the smell of your stool and gas should be increasingly pungent. This is an indication that your intestinal environment is getting worse. The reason for smell is that toxin are being produced inside the colon. Thus, even though people talk about the health effects of yogurt in general (and yogurt companies are more than pleased to tout their own products), in reality, there are many things about yogurt that are not good for your body.” said Dr Hiromi Shinya in pages 46 and 47of his book "The Enzyme factor".
