Many of my clients don’t consume milk for reasons like:
lactose intolerant
vegan or
some strict vegetarian practices
Calcium isn’t just derived from milk and milk products!!
Other excellent sources of calcium:
Tofu
Rhubarb
Sardines
Collard greens
Spinach
Turnip greens
Okra
kiwi
White beans
Baked beans
Broccoli
Peas
Brussel sprouts
Sesame seeds
Bok choy
Almonds
salmon

One kiwi contains a full day's Recommended Dietary Allowance for vitamin C, and kiwi is also a great source of fiber

Libby, this is a great article because it opens people up to the fact that certain foods they may have never even thought of contain calcium. It also reminds us all that we most-likely do not get in enough calcium into our daily nutrition. Great site - just keep cranking out the content : ) XO
