What you may not know is that other foods are very high in calcium as well - without the saturated fat. And if you're lactose intolerant, you'll be happy to know that you can get plenty of calcium from sources besides milk. One of those sources is...
Sesame seeds! One cup of milk has about 300 mg of calcium. Compare that with one cup of sesame seeds, which has 1,404 mg of calcium!
Granted - you aren't going to consume one cup of sesame seeds in a day! But let's look at two tablespoons, a more reasonable measurement. Two tablespoons of sesame seeds contain 175.5 mg of calcium. Not as much as milk, but still very good!
Sprinkle sesame seeds on baked or grilled chicken or fish, rice dishes, bok choy (for even more calcium!), tofu or anything else to greatly enhance the flavor and add crunch. Make tahini sauce and drizzle it over vegetables or on sandwiches.
While helping build tooth enamel and preserving the bone around the teeth and gums, eating sesame seeds helps slough off plaque. So buy some today, toast them yourself, and keep them in a jar in the kitchen. They'll be your new favorite condiment!
As always, if you live in or around the Atlanta, Alpharetta, or Roswell areas, and would like to schedule an appointment with Dr. Sarah Roberts, call 678-319-0123 or email us today.
