What Are the Richest Sources of Calcium and Minerals?

There are many beliefs on health and diets in the world today. Take a look at the TV or magazine ads and that will become apparent. Vegetarianism has been popularized by cultures in the past and is the choice for many people in this day and age. Environmental health and humanitarian concerns are some of the most common reasons for choosing a vegetarian way of life. A vegetarian diet excludes meat, including chicken and fish. Veganism is a purer form of vegetarianism. Eggs, dairy products and even animal products like honey and gelatin are excluded from a vegan diet.

People sometimes hesitate to choose a vegetarian way of life. This is because it is commonly perceived that vegetarians lack calcium and minerals in their diet and hence suffer from bone degeneration and other health issues. In fact, a vegetarian diet is rich in fiber and in the uncooked form contains a lot of vitamins and minerals. This is very beneficial. It prevents constipation and removes toxic matter from the body, thus preventing increased acidity of the blood. The minerals and vitamins present in vegetarian foods, especially greens play a very important role in the smooth functioning of the body. Studies show that the acidity of a non-vegetarian, high protein diet is harmful for the body. On the other hand, the vegetarian diet which contains mostly uncooked food has very few drawbacks. The most common problem vegetarians run into is overeating of starches and processed foods which is a problem for anyone.

A vegetarian diet which is high in fiber, low in saturated fat and cholesterol, high in folic acid, vitamins and minerals is the preferred diet for preventing a lot of health related problems.

A well-planned vegetarian diet is an optimum way to meet all your nutritional needs. There are a lots of vegetarian superfoods available in the market rich in calcium and minerals. You can fulfill all your body’s requirements without any intake of non-vegetarian food! In fact, some of the richest sources of calcium and minerals are vegetables, nuts and seeds!

Some low-oxalate calcium-rich vegetables such as Broccoli, Kale, Collards, Okra and Chinese greens actually deliver a more bioavailable form of calcium than milk can provide.

Wheatgrass has become famous over the years due to Ann Wigmore and should be a staple for everyone in the world. This grass contains high concentrations of chlorophyll, active enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, and other nutrients. Wheatgrass is one of the richest sources of vitamin A and vitamin C, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, sodium, sulfur, zinc, cobalt, and protein. It contains over 90 different minerals and 19 amino acids. Studies have shown that wheatgrass helps to build blood, cleanses the body and protects the body against illnesses.

Another amazing newcomer into the Superfood Vegetarian World is Marine Phytoplankton. It is a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids, amino acids, chlorophyll and minerals. Raw Cacao Bean in its raw natural form has the highest Vitamin C content. It is also very rich in minerals, a natural source of magnesium, chromium, iron, copper and zinc. It can be used as a very good mineral supplement. Golden Inca Berries contain a broad array of B-vitamins and are one of the only known plant-based sources of B12, a crucial and powerful energy generator necessary for cellular metabolism. They are a good source of bioflavinoids. Also, sesame seeds are a great source of calcium.

The list of these great superfoods does not end here. Superfoods are easily available naturally from plants, nutritious and make us active, alert, energetic, innovative and alive. So being a vegetarian is a completely healthy and better option!
