Where do vegans get calcium, and how much do we need?
There are these 3 nutrients that everyone fusses about when you say you're vegan... protein, iron and calcium.
This week, I wanted to talk about calcium. It's a question that I've been dealing with my whole life, even though I haven't been vegan my whole life - because I'm allergic to cow's milk.
Surprise! I still have bones. And they're pretty strong!
I was a competitive figure skater until I went to university, which involved falling on the ice (a LOT!!!). And I didn't break a bone that whole time.
It turns out that the best way to get useable calcium is to eat a variety of plant foods, like quinoa, chickpeas, sesame seeds and broccoli. The dark green leafy vegetables are particularly good sources.
(Even the Harvard School of Public Health is saying it.)
