Rich in Calcium

People frequently consider consuming milk when they need to supplement calcium to avoid bone problems. Numerous vital elements and vitamins included in milk aid in the rapid development of bones in youngsters and the prevention of osteoporosis in adults. However, those who are lactose intolerant or allergic to milk should avoid them. Sardines, which offer dozens of minerals to better protect bones than milk, are always sold in the market, claims Katherine Marengo, a dietitian at Louisiana State University (USA).

The National Osteoporosis Foundation and the National Institutes of Health report that a serving size of 85g of sardines contains 325mg of calcium, compared to 276mg in a serving size of 85g of milk. Because of their soft, edible bones, sardines in cans are a good source of calcium. The fact that the Japanese always like sardines with their rice is not a coincidence. Even though they are small, they are packed with vitamins and minerals, so even when they just eat a little, they still give the body necessary nutrients.
