Dairy is rich in calcium but it's also difficult to digest and is missing it's companion mineral for bone health, magnesium. Most people also lack the digestive enzyme to break down milk in the body. Conventional dairy products contain growth hormones and antibiotics. Have acne? Ditch the dairy and your skin will clear up! Dairy products can also be constipating. The best choices for calcium are leafy greens, such as chard, spinach, and kale. Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli are excellent as well as almonds and other nuts, all of which are also good magnesium sources. Calcium supplements are controversial because they can form calcium deposits in the body.
