June 13, 2018

As we all already know, the best way to stay healthy is by maintaining a healthy balanced diet. In addition to proteins, carbohydrates and vitamins which are vital every day, you also need calcium. For healthy solid bones, you need to ensure that you’re getting a daily supply of dairy products (2 or 3 products a day) that will provide you with all the calcium your body requires.

The Different Sources Of Calcium

IConsuming a glass of milk may not be your thing, but you don’t need to worry about calcium deficiency because there are lots of other ways and products to get your daily dose of calcium. Dairy yogurts are a good source, as are all your favorite milk-based dishes, such as chicken béchamel bake, macaroni and cheese, rice pudding and even pancakes ! You can cook your vegetables in a Minicompact steamer or the steam basket of Clipso Minut Perfect pressure cooker then garnish with some grated cheese or butter. And don’t forget that other foods are also very good sources of calcium, including fish, nuts, eggs and even spinach!
