Six Non-Dairy Foods Rich in Calcium

Getting an adequate amount of calcium in your diet is very important for your health.

Calcium makes up a large portion of your bones and teeth and plays an essential role in heart health and muscle function.

Unfortunately, a large percentage of the population doesn’t consume enough calcium in their diet.

 

Non-Dairy Sources of Calcium

 

The recommended daily intake (RDI) of calcium is 1,000 mg per day for most adults, though women over 50 and everyone over 70 should get 1,200 mg per day, while children aged 4–18 are recommended to consume about 1,300 mg.

While dairy is a good source of calcium, some people have a hard time digesting it and want non-dairy sources.
