Easy Ways to Eat More Kale
- Lightly sautéed with olive oil and garlic
- Added to soups and stews
- Blended into smoothies
- Baked into kale chips
Cooking kale slightly improves digestibility while preserving most of its nutrients.
Vegetable #2: Broccoli
Why Broccoli Is a Reliable Calcium Source
Broccoli is widely available, affordable, and nutrient-dense.
One cup of cooked broccoli contains:
- About 60–70 mg of calcium
- Vitamin C, which supports collagen formation in bones
- Vitamin K for bone mineralization
While broccoli’s calcium content is lower than kale’s, its absorption rate is relatively high.
