What are you thankful for today?

[ninna]

Thankful that I stopped by here this evening & read all of your very magnificent posts. It made me smile!
@Angela273 - I'll bet you are a great teacher
@ninna - Swimming is so good for you! You go girl!
@Andit - There are some nice people out there. You just reminded me with your nice bank story.



p.s. I don't know how to do a mention on here that works properly.

Well then. Just thought you should know your mention worked just fine!!!

I am thankful for you SillyLoocie! You are always so positive that you make US smile all the time!

That 1/4C of unstalted almonds have 1000mg of calcium, therefore I do NOT have to swallow and choke on those calcium horse pills! Those, and a nice, cold glass of chocolate Almond milk.
They'll do just fine...

I misinformed you...there are only 378 mg of calcium in 1 C of almonds.
So now I'll be looking for chewable calcium or gel caps...the ones my hubby bought came in
the form of horse pills. So he's taking them now....
Sorry for posting the wrong info...

Oh. And if you're looking to boost your calcium by taking pills etc, you need to look at the "elemental calcium" number to know how much calcium your body is really absorbing.

Calcium glutamate is only 9 percent elemental calcium. A 500-milligram tablet of calcium glutamate may contain only 45 milligrams of elemental calcium, even though you were led to believe you were taking 500 milligrams of calcium. Calcium carbonate, on the other hand, is 40 percent elemental calcium; 500 milligrams of calcium carbonate would provide 200 milligrams of usable calcium.

ooooooook.

That's it.

You're done for now.
C'mon everyone. We're all gonna take Lynn49 out back and whip her til she cries for mercy. False information. Gheesh! Someone get the lawyers! I smell lawsuit!!!

Seriously though, if you are wanting to avoid monster horse calcium pills with diet intervention, almonds, broccoli and snap beans are also apparently a good source for calcium (in addition to the traditional sources like cottage cheese or mozzarella cheese, milk, and yogurt.)

DO try the chewable calcium if you have to a supplement. They taste waaaay better. When I was pregnant and needed supplements, I bought chewable chocolate ones. They were so darned good I could've eaten them like they were candy. LOL.

This morning I woke up totally pain free for the first time in recent memory. It only lasted a couple hours but for that time it felt so darn good!
