hello dear!! Calcium is an important mineral for our body which not only supports our bones but also our teeth. Calcium helps our heart rhythm too. yes, calcium is lacking in many individuals due to many reasons. This is very common. but don't worry include calcium-rich foods in your diet like dairy products milk, paneer, homemade yogurt, green leafy veggies like Spinach, Broccoli, Cabbage, etc if you are non-vegetarian, try to eat fish which have more bones in it. soy milk & tofu are rich in calcium. A handful of brazil nuts and almonds is a must daily to increase calcium content. sounds good that you are taking many calcium-rich foods to increase your calcium levels naturally. Change your eating habits, avoid fast foods, eat slower and in smaller portions, increase your exercise like walking, avoid caffeine drink plenty of water .

Feeling heaviness after consuming calcium-rich foods like almonds, saunf, khaskhas, and sesame seeds is quite common, especially if your digestive system is not very strong or if you consume them in larger quantities. These foods are dense and rich in healthy fats and fiber, which can feel 'heavy' or 'garam' (warm) to the body and slow down digestion for some individuals.

To help with this, try soaking almonds overnight and peeling them before eating. You can also consume these seeds in smaller, regulated portions throughout the day rather than all at once. Incorporate other excellent calcium sources that might be lighter on your system, such as ragi (finger millet), paneer, curd (dahi), and plenty of green leafy vegetables like spinach and mustard greens. Also, ensure you get enough sunlight for Vitamin D, which is crucial for calcium absorption. Always discuss any dietary changes or persistent discomfort with your doctor to ensure it aligns with your overall health plan.
