Almost 125mg of calcium is present in 100ml of milk. The primary calcium sources are milk products. It aids in constructing stronger bones and teeth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong>Spinach<\/strong>: Spinach is a good source of calcium but the presence of oxalic acid makes it less available i.e., the body doesn\u2019t absorb calcium well from foods that are high in oxalates. Almost 99mg of calcium is present in 100g of spinach.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong>Sesame seeds<\/strong>: An excellent source of calcium is sesame seeds. 100g of sesame seeds contain about 975mg of calcium. Sesame seeds also contain other minerals like iron, copper, and manganese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong>Green Beans<\/strong>: Green beans contain a good amount of absorbable calcium. 100g of green beans contain 37mg of calcium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong>Drumstick leaves or Moringa leaves<\/strong>: Drumstick leaves are an incredible source of calcium and other minerals such as phosphorus &amp; iron. Dried moringa leaves or powders contain more amount of calcium than fresh ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong>Ladies&#8217; fingers or Okra<\/strong>: Ladies&#8217; fingers are another rich source of calcium. 100g of ladies&#8217; fingers contain 82mg of calcium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong>Other sources<\/strong>: Almonds, yogurt, dried apricots, eggs, broccoli, figs, cheese, tofu, chickpeas, sardines(fish), oranges, chia seeds, soy milk, curd, fortified foods, pumpkin seeds, avocado, turnip greens, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Altogether, our body needs calcium to carry out many functions &amp; to maintain strong teeth and bones. In the body, bones hold the majority of the calcium. If we don\u2019t give enough calcium to the body, it takes calcium from bones making them weak which ultimately leads to bone diseases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#0000ff\">Looking for a healthy diet plan?
