DID YOU KNOW? Just one cup of cooked Swiss chard provides a whopping 636% of your daily vitamin K needs! Vitamin K is an essential nutrient for bone health — and reduces fracture rates because it activates the major non-collagen protein that helps form bones.

This nutrient – along with calcium which is also found in Swiss chard – helps modulate bone metabolism, aids in bone growth, and protects the body from bone mineral loss common in the aging process.

DID YOU KNOW? Supplemental calcium is not only ineffective for bone health, but is associated with some pretty serious health risks, including heart disease, cancer and kidneys stones.

A meta-analysis of studies involving more than 12,000 people published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) found that calcium supplementation increases the risk of:

  • Heart attack by 31 percent
  • Stroke by 20 percent
  • Death from all causes by 9 percent

In addition, daily supplementation of calcium at 1,000 mg is associated with increased prostate cancer risk and an increase in kidney stones.

Lastly, a Swedish study reported a 40 percent higher risk of death among women with high calcium intakes (1,400 mg and above), and a 157 percent higher risk of death if those women were taking a 500-mg calcium supplement daily.

Consider getting your calcium from food sources like:

  • High-quality dairy products
  • Canned, bone-in fish (e.g., sardines, salmon, etc.)
  • Dark, leafy greens
  • Almonds and seeds (especially poppy and sesame)
