Calcium Food/Sesame Seed Gomashio

Below is a list of Calcium Rich Foods. The first chart is dairy foods and the chart below it seeds, nuts, vegetables etc.

Unless it is whole milk, there is not value in fat free or low fat.  The nutrients in milk require the naturally occurring fats in milk to assimilate correctly.  Refrain from low fat, non-fat, skim etc.

YOU HAVE TO EAT FATS IN ORDER TO LOSE FAT.  YOUR BRAIN MUST HAVE CORRECT FATS! Calcium Foods Sesame Seed Gomashio

In my practice, I rarely recommend Calcium. Most of us have plenty of Calcium in our bodies. The problem is getting it to where it needs to be!

Oftentimes it is a problem with not having enough Hydrochloric Acid (HCL) which is an absolute requirement for both protein and calcium absorption.

When I do I use a Micro Crystalline Ionized Calcium such as Calphonite.
