10. Almonds

You must be “nuts” if you don’t grab a handful of these crunchy healthy taste treats every now and then. Although you probably don’t think of nuts as a good source of calcium, almonds are an exception. Just 20 nuts have about 72mg, or 7 percent of your daily recommended intake. Besides calcium, almonds are one of the most nutritionally dense foods you can eat. Ounce for ounce they pack an amazing amount of healthy goodness including iron, potassium, biotin, copper, vitamin D2, phosphorus, magnesium, and vitamin E just to name a few. They do contain fat so you want to watch your daily portions, but a couple of handfuls a day is all it take! Add some to your salad, or make your own, super delicious, and super healthy, almond butter for lunchtime sandwiches or spread it on an apple. You can also add some almonds to your yogurt or add some to your summer cold rice salad for a nice change from hot meals.
