4. Calcium
A single serving of anchovies can get you almost 150 mg of calcium. Who said that a glass of milk was the only way to keep your bones healthy? As a matter of fact, many people who are lactose intolerant rely on anchovies to meet their daily requirements with regard to calcium. Beyond strengthening your teeth and bones, calcium can also boost the health of other areas.
For instance, studies show that patients who suffer from chronic hypertension will see a drop in their blood pressure after getting enough calcium on a day to day basis. There have even been studies showing that, when calcium is paired with vitamin D, it can prevent various types of cancers. When a single fish can strengthen your bones, lower your blood pressure, and protect you from cancer all in one blow you’re supposed to eat it faster rather than asking questions.
