    High Calcium

    You know calcium is important for bone health, but did you know calcium plays an important role in both the pumping action of the heart, and the electrical activity to keep your heart rhythm normal?

    But calcium supplements may not be the best method for getting enough. Some studies now show a possible link between calcium supplements and increased risk for heart attacks, especially for postmenopausal women.

    That means it's even more important to ensure your diet is varied and includes foods that are naturally high in calcium. The recipes in this section each contain at least 20% of the daily value for calcium, and many contain even more.
