More Calcium In A Healthy Way With These Seeds

We are used to thinking that dairy products are the only source of calcium, but what really happens to the calcium from milk? As nutritionists say, dairy products lack magnesium, which prevents calcium from bonding properly to bones.

We should also remember that many people suffer from lactose intolerance, because this animal enzyme is not always properly processed by our body.

So, what can we do? Since many people, especially women, need more of these supplemental doses of calcium to take care of their bones, you should know that there is an interesting alternative for getting more calcium: seeds.
