Cheese

Cheese is one of the richest sources of calcium in the diet. Just a piece of cheddar cheese provides up to 30 percent of the daily recommended intake. Some other good options to consider include mascarpone, ricotta, or parmesan cheese. Make sure to eat cheese in moderation because excessive consumption would lead to some possible health issues. Be careful if you are allergic to lactose because cheese is a dairy product. [4]
