Dr. Berg talks about where to get calcium if you are doing dairy-free. You can absorb more calcium in dairy but if you are consuming the recommended amounts of greens in healthy ketosis, you will definitely get enough calcium. Make sure you avoid calcium carbonate which is very difficult to absorb and takes 12 different chemical reactions to break down.
Calcium Food Sources:
• Sardines (with bones), fish, seafoods • Chia seeds • Almonds • Seeds • Leafy Greens • Dandelion Greens • Collard Greens • Kale • Parsley • Broccoli • Spinach

| 0:34.0 | Dr Eric Berg. |
| 0:36.3 | So I wanted to do this quick video to answer another question |

| 1:28.0 | It's also in certain legumes, especially peanuts, okay? So what I would do if I were use if you're going to consume spinach, for example, steam it or saute it. |
| 1:38.1 | Same thing with parsley or even B-tops. And it is true that if we compare dairy to vegetable source, dairy is going to absorb more calcium. |
| 1:46.2 | However, if you're consuming the amount of greens that I recommend in healthy ketosis, which I'm sure you are, |

| 1:54.6 | get enough calcium. |
