How to supplement calcium through the diet for the elderly

HẠ MÂY (T/H) |

Calcium supplementation can start from your daily diet. Many foods contain calcium, which is necessary for the elderly.

There are many ways to supplement calcium. We can take calcium tablets, but it can cause side effects for some people. If you eat properly every day, you can also achieve the necessary calcium supplementation effect for the body.

Dairy products such as milk, yogurt, cheese, salmon and sardines, black sesame powder; green vegetables such as broccoli, kale, spinach and tofu... are foods with high calcium content. Black sesame is especially high in calcium, with 40 grams of black sesame containing up to 468 mg of calcium. The calcium content in salmon is also very high.

In addition, eating meat can hardly achieve the effect of calcium supplementation. Beef and pork are very helpful in supplementing other trace elements for the body, but eating too much will cause calcium loss.

Cigarettes and alcohol will also affect the production of blood-forming cells, thereby affecting the absorption of calcium. Some drugs containing steroids also reduce calcium absorption.

We should not drink many carbonated drinks because carbonic acid will combine with calcium in the blood, causing calcium loss. Sugary drinks will also speed up the body's calcium consumption.
