A point to emphasize, is that the recommendations of how to eat healthy can never be discarded, this if we consider that intake of plant species rich in essential mineral elements for the proper functioning of our metabolic system, today I will share information of interest on plants rich in calcium.

I mention this, because we always relate calcium to dairy products, however, we can also obtain it from some vegetable species, and in similar quantities, therefore much healthier.
The truth is that, maintaining eating habits in which we incorporate vegetable species will not provide us with the ideal conditions for a healthier life, in the case of species rich in calcium, the most appropriate is to follow a diet based on these vegetables that guarantee us this mineral.
▶ Among the plant species that usually provide the same or a higher percentage of calcium than milk, we can mention the following plants: spinach, broccoli, chickpeas, watercress and most nuts. In this last aspect, it is important to note that nuts such as walnuts, hazelnuts and sesame seeds have been shown to reduce osteoporosis.
