What if we told you that your daily calcium intake could help protect you from colorectal cancer (CRC)? A massive 20-year study just dropped some eye-opening results: people who consumed the most calcium had a 29% lower risk of CRC than those with the least!
The best part? It doesn’t matter whether you get your calcium from dairy, plant-based sources, or supplements—they all contribute to lowering your risk. Just adding 300 mg of calcium a day (about one cup of yogurt or fortified almond milk) could reduce your CRC risk by up to 10%.
Why should you care? CRC is one of the most common cancers, and prevention starts early. Making small dietary changes now can have long-term benefits. So, whether you’re into milk, leafy greens, or calcium-fortified foods, boosting your intake might just be a game-changer for your health.
Time to load up on calcium and protect your future self!
