28 Aug Chia, five times more calcium than milk
Growing up, our mother’s told us to drink milk for the calcium. It’s a nutrient that you’ll need for the rest of your life. But you don’t need to drink milk to fuel your body with calcium. Chia will do the trick. This is great news for vegans and people who are lactose intolerant.
Chia has a high level of calcium, which is essential in the prevention of osteoporosis. The nutrients from chia will help repair and maintain cartilage, strengthen bones and teeth, help with muscle function, as well as maintaining normal heart rhythm. But careful, too much calcium can have the opposite effects.
