Do not forget that calcium not only in dairy products

dairy pfoductsAfter watching closely on television advertising, which promotes a product enriched in calcium, I feel the need to clarify that calcium is not only in dairy products and tell you not to forget this fact, because they often believe that as our intake of milk is low, do not cover the AI for calcium, when in reality, there are many foods that are not derived from milk that can help us meet the needs of this mineral.

The publicity was assessed calcium intake of a person questioned about their consumption of dairy products, however, was not provided for other sources of calcium in the diet, such as fish, some fruits and vegetables, bread, cereals and other .
