Which daily food item is high in calcium and could help osteoporosis?

• A. Spinach
• B. Sesame seeds
• C. Milk
• D. Yogurt

Answer: (B)

Calcium is essential for bone remodeling and maintaining bone density, so getting enough calcium daily helps protect against osteoporosis. Sesame seeds stand out as a dense, practical plant-based calcium source you can easily slip into daily meals (think sprinkle on salads, mix into yogurt, or use in dressings). A small portion adds a meaningful amount of calcium to your total intake, making them a useful habit for bone health.

Spinach contains calcium, but much of it is bound in compounds that reduce absorption, so it isn’t as effective for boosting calcium status. Dairy products like milk and yogurt provide calcium with high bioavailability and are excellent choices, but sesame seeds offer a strong alternative, especially for those following plant-based diets or who want variety in daily sources.
