Calcium is essential for proper bone growth and maintenance.
As we age, this natural need becomes even more vital. Especially in preventing diseases related to calcium deficiency such as arthritis and other bone related diseases.

Here I would like to share ten fruits (Yes not vegetables but delicious fruits) that will help you balance and maintain your calcium levels. Daily recommend intake is set at 1000 to 2000 mg by the way.

Oranges
A champion of Vitamin C, an orange contains about 43mg of calcium per serving. Nothing massive but a few oranges here and there and you just got your entire intake of calcium.
Kiwis
This exotic yet delicious fruit contains about 60mg a cup. Kiwis can be used in fruit salads and even in some very hear warming recipes as well.
Dried Apricots
With Apricots, you can get about 5mg of calcium. Nothing crazy but nice way to reach your calcium levels when you are having a long day at work and it starts to effect your diet.
Dates
Widely used around the middle east, dates are actually quite delicious and have various cleansing properties to it. Not to mention around 15 mg of calcium per date. Probably one of the most underrated fruits out there.
Dried Figs
Not a personal fan unless they are used in cooking, they do contain about 13 mg of pure plant based calcium.
Rhubarb
These are insane for calcium. Each Rhubarb contains about 348 mg of calcium Can you say 'wow' please.
Prickly Pears
Well when someone tells you 'Don't be such a prickly pear', tell them 'I wish I was' because that would mean that you have 58mg of calcium. If you ask me, that is nothing to be 'prickly' about.
Prunes
Great for your colon and contains about 75 mg in a single cup.
Mulberries
Somewhat rare to find but if you can get your hands on them, that's 55mg of calcium in a cup.
Kumquats
High in Vitamins A & C and contains up to 12mg of calcium.
So there you have it. Milk is not the only source for calcium but there are plenty of plant based sources (As you just read, even fruits) that are more recommended by us than dairy products anyways.

At the end of the day, whether you are looking to boost your calcium intake or something else, plant based sources are the way to go.

The sad truth is that America is fat. Currently, 37.4% of adults and 16.7% of children currently fighting overweight, and this number will only increase. To reverse this trend, both nationally and individually, we need to think about how we eat, how we think and train. 
As we know, the equation for weight loss is surprisingly simple: calories burned must exceed calories consumed. And yet, despite the simplicity of this equation, we are still struggling. In this section, I will identify some of the main reasons for this fight and offer advice for this equation work in your favor.

First, we analyze the equation. We know that we burn calories to move the body and movement. Regular exercise for 30 or 60 minutes a day is important, "calories burned" in the equation (as well as maintaining muscle tone and bone density), but for several hours a day, we can devote to work and burn calories. 
Against this background, the relatively larger contribution of calories to gain weight, the conclusion is that you can, if your diet if you want to lose weight and change your life, commit. If you find that declaration scary or sad, you're not alone. It is a common (though I think delaying) the belief that diet change, destroy the quality of life and satisfaction of eating and taste the food is more important than being healthy.

But there is a simple way to solve this problem and make the process easy and painless before changing our diet, we need to change our minds. So we changed our minds, change our diets to lose weight and change our lives.

Change your thoughts seem a daunting task. We changed our mind several times a day! In this case we change our minds healthy, fresh, at its option, and more desirable to test the options fatty, processed, refined and / or sweet. We can make a complete change, both for the healthy alternative and feel rejected or isolated from unhealthy choices. Unlike other times when we change our minds in daily life, this change should consciously and deliberately, but need not - and should not - overnight. To understand this, let's take a look at some of the mental processes and organizations related to food.

None of us want to say, what to do, or that we are wrong, bad or faulty in some way. But if the message sent to our spirit that we are going to make a change, try to eat well, it's the subtext that we eat badly, making a bad choice, and / or a "bad" We care work. 
True as that may be, it's bruised ego and resist the force or modification. You may be able to avoid unhealthy foods common or preferred for a week or two, but the idea that we must do to avoid it provides higher. So the next time you're late or trying to take a bite murmur are old before your ego: [? Cake / cheese / whip] "Why do not I know I was so good, I deserve And why do I have this is mainly." Resistance if subconscious creates a negative feedback loop: do you feel the resentment change, eat something healthy "revenge", they feel bad about eating poorly and resentment and more has been done to change in the first place (even if "force" is itself a change) .

The good news is that the force is not the way a positive feedback loop, and small changes. Small incremental changes baby make you feel good about your small successes to motivate then smaller changes and successes. This is the idea of ​​small steps that simplify the process of making changes in eating habits. By making small adjustments in the diet, rather than denial or wholesale changes, you can change your subconscious with your conscious / declared intention of your diet and lose weight are aligned. 
A healthy diet has been reduced to normal abnormal, a poor diet. To facilitate these changes, I have four our relationship with food, we discuss the potential of even small changes in the breeding, feeding and weight prevented. Understand the relationships that help us in the food you should be aware of them so that advice provided to manage the potential risks.
