Everyone requires calcium and other minerals for a healthy immune system and bone structure. That is why we need to consume vitamins and minerals every day for the best health possible. This allows us to be strong and tackle simple problems like colds and bone stress.

A lot of people, especially women for biological reasons, have a hard time maintaining proper calcium levels. Do I’d like to show you a few ways that you can incorporate more calcium in to your diet naturally with foods and not from pills or a liquid.

The first and probably one of the best ways to start is a calcium diet, or any healthy diet for that matter, is by eating lots of vegetables every single day. You can either have them cooked or better yet, eat them raw for maximum benefit. Some specific vegetables that are rich in calcium are dark greens like the following:

- Cabbage
- Kale
- Spinach
- Mustard greens
- Broccoli
- Dandelion and turnip greens

The easiest way to eat these is in a salad with a natural salad dressing. But if you must, you can gently boil them and add some sesame seeds and a splash of soy sauce.

Milk and milk products like cream, yogurt, and cheese also provide calcium. While egg shells are mostly made of calcium, I don’t think you will be eating the shell. But the egg itself does possess some calcium benefits. A lot of egg substitutes have calcium and vitamin D added to them. If you can tolerate milk, then even 1 cup of milk a day can be of service to most people.

Here are a few other sources of calcium enhancing foods that you can add to your diet that also contain a wide variety of beneficial nutrients:

- Beans ( Any kind of bean, including soy)
- Nuts
- Fish and Seafood
- Oatmeal
- Tofu

The best way to incorporate these types of foods is by adding one thing at a time and trying different recipes. However, if you don’t like a particular item, like beans, then there is no reason to force yourself to eat it. If you have to force yourself to eat a particular food, you won’t be sticking to your diet for very long. Trust me; I’ve been through that a million times.

Even to help aid your stomach in digesting food, calcium plays a vital role in that and many other bodily functions required in maintaining your delicate biological machine.
