Natural sources of calcium for a child

That source of calcium is milk, known to many. But milk is not popular with the younger generation who prefer sandwiches, chips and sodas. The national school lunch program (National School Lunch Program) in the USA developed criteria the daily meal of the student, which provides guidance on the five main food groups that it needs to contain.





As reported by Live Science online, a school lunch should contain fruits, vegetables, grains, protein and dairy products. In practice, only 27% of the Lunches that parents collect their child to school that contain products of three or more groups. It should be remembered that some people have a lactose intolerance, who need to exclude dairy products from my diet for medical reasons. And not children like milk. Of course, in all matters relating to the child (and adult too), it is best to follow the recommendations of the doctor, perceiving all the information from the Internet only as an auxiliary material.

Kids are hard to feed something "useful" from the point of view of another dietary fashion. However, not all ideas about the benefits and dangers of certain products are correct. It is very desirable that the diet of the child contained really useful items and was not disgusted him.

Therefore, as a source of calcium milk can replace several other products. Thus, we consider only such types of food that at least the majority don't make most children too harsh rejection:





Chips from the curly Kale. This Kale is also known as brunkalla, Kale, grunkohl and Kale. Home made chips from it can be a substitute for the potato. Kale is not only rich in calcium food, but also an excellent source of many different vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, iron and potassium.





Oranges. One large orange contains 74 milligrams of calcium, which corresponds to approximately 7% of recommended daily intake of this element. In addition, oranges are rich in vitamin C and are a fruit that allows you to implement the recommendation at least in part of this group of products. From orange it is possible to squeeze out the juice, which is successfully replaced by soda.





Almonds. Only one Cup of almonds contains 243 milligrams of calcium, about the same as a glass of whole milk. A Cup of almonds will also provide the child approximately 61% of the recommended daily allowance of magnesium.





Sunflower seeds. The children they have long been like, but it should be remembered that seeds need to be cleaned. One Cup of sunflower seeds contains 109 milligrams of calcium. In the Cup of sunflower seeds contains 12 grams of fiber.





Broccoli. This is popular in the numerous "tasteless" diet source of calcium cause in children the slightest excitement, but talking about it should. One serving of this product contains about 70 milligrams of calcium and more than double the recommended daily serving of vitamin C.

What do you think is the most important in the child's diet? What food children prefer, and which, in your opinion, are they useful? Whether for the benefit of the younger generation the habit of chips and sandwiches?
