Even though some still praise the wonderful benefits of milk, others believe it's the reason for many health woes including acne, chronic bloating, heart disease, kidney stones, diabetes, cancer, and why allergies are at an all time high. Dairy can be hard to digest, and you may find your body functioning better without it.
Removing dairy from your diet may be hard and overwhelming at first, especially if you've incorporated it into many of your meals. You may also feel a little concerned about how you'll keep your calcium levels from dropping, since dairy is your only source of calcium.
The good news is that there are a variety of healthy choices you can make to ensure you maintain proper calcium levels in your body without any dairy. You can get calcium from plenty of other sources that don't include dairy, such as:
- Collard greens
- Soy milk
- Sardines
- Black-eyed peas
- Tofu
- Blackstrap molasses
- Almonds
- Baked beans
- Kale
- Chinese cabbage
- Oranges
- Figs
- Salmon
- Sesame seeds
