- Spinach: in addition to Ca++, spinach is also high in vitamins A and K, which protects against inflammation, oxidative stress-related issues, bone problems, and can work as an antioxidant.
- Kale: this is one of the most nutrient-dense vegetables, and has been found to lower the risk of many cancers as well as cholesterol.
- Turnip Greens: another nutrient-dense vegetable that aids in cardiovascular and digestive system health, offers detox support, and has known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Oh, and I highly recommend steaming this vegetable like they suggest... eating raw turnip greens is pretty disgusting... bitter is a kind adjective!
- Sesame Seeds: in addition to Ca++, sesame seeds are a great source of magnesium, iron and zinc, which promotes respiratory system and bone health and lowers cholesterol.
- Chia Seeds: in addition to Ca++, chia seeds are rich in Omega-3s, protein, fiber, and potassium.
... usually, I glance at the article that I pull a particular picture from... this one was worth a shout-out: Would it be possible for a cow to produce chocolate milk?
