It could be because it makes your stomach upset or that you don’t care for the taste; but if you are not drinking milk, you need to pay attention to how you are getting your calcium. Calcium, along with vitamin D, is crucial for good bone health.
Soy milk is a great alternative to cow’s milk. It is still an excellent source of calcium and protein. Almond milk has become popular in recent years. Even though it is a good source of calcium, be aware that almond milk only provides 1 gram of protein per serving when compared to cow’s milk or soy that provides 7 grams per serving.
There are some vegetables that are good sources of calcium, including:
- Broccoli
- Dark leafy greens, such as spinach, kale, and collard greens
- Fortified orange juice
- Enriched breads and cereals
