SummaryIn this episode, Leah and Caitlin discuss calcium on a plant-based diet. They cover the importance of calcium for bone health and how the body maintains calcium levels. The recommended daily intake of calcium varies depending on age and gender, but it is achievable through food alone on a plant-based diet. They provide a list of sources of calcium on a plant-based diet, including calcium-fortified milks, calcium-set tofu, and other fortified products. They also discuss the considerations for calcium supplementation, including timing and potential interactions with other supplements. Additionally, they touch on other dietary considerations for bone health, such as vitamin D and vitamin K, and the importance of weight-bearing exercise.
