although milk and dairy are the best sources of calcium you can certainly get enough even if you don’t drink milk. if dairy milk or cow's milk makes your stomach upset or if you are lactose intolerant there are plenty of lactose-free milks on the market. also yogurt is the best source of calcium with 415 mg in 8 ounces. even people with lactose intolerance can typically eat yogurt with no problem because the probiotics in yogurt help digest the lactose. if dairy is not an option other good food sources for calcium are calcium-fortified soy milk or other forms of non-dairy milk calcium-fortified cereals turnip greens and kale. if you find it tough to get the recommended 1000-1200 mg/day calcium supplements (which are often combined with vitamin d) can help fill the gap as well.
is there a way to increase my calcium intake without drinking milk?
