Oh dear Calcium! How is it that you avoid us vegetarians? Why would you do that to us?
We constantly swallow gallons and gallons of the white milky stuff believing that we will get our daily doze of you, but you seem to chase us despite that, why?
Ok no more silly talk with Calcium. Let's dive right into it. Calcium is a cause for concern for many vegetarians despite their daily doze of yogurt, cottage cheese and 'doodh-wali-chai.'
So where are we going wrong? For starters, in the study of Ms Diya Dembla, dairy, the whole range, does more damage in your system than good. You may think your dairy intake is helping you with your quota of calcium, but in reality, it is casing your digestive system to slow down, hampering the balanced secretion of hormones and yes, may even aggravate those pimples.
So what can we do if we drop the milk? Well, here are a bunch of very simple vegetarian sources of calcium which if included on a daily basis in your diet, that all nighter high-heel party won't kill your toes/knees the next day. Will take way more than that.
1. White Sesame Seeds:- Add them to your salad, stir fry with them, munch them raw. Excellent source of calcium.
2. Almonds: Oh there's so much you can do with almonds.
3. Raw Spinach: See this one's not the same as cooked spinach. The calci in cooked is almost destroyed. So you want to make sure that you get some amount of raw spinach through a juice or salad or garnish.
4. Bok Choy:- GO ahead, unveil the chinese chef in you and add this to your stir fry's.
5. ALL green leafy vegetables: Have you been avoiding fresh green fenugreek? Well now's your chance to kiss and make up. Pretty much all leafy greens have quite the doze of calcium and if included in your meals everyday, your heels won't hurt.
So what will you be including in your meal today my dear vegetarian?
