The Easter fasting is the strictest and longest one. For the religious ones, fasting is a must. Others, fast as a family tradition and some because they believe fasting is healthy. It is true that giving up meat, milk and oil for more than 40 days is good for our bodies but long vegetarianism hides some dangers, which we need to be aware of, in order to avoid them.


1.    Low calcium intake


Here are some foods, which are rich in calcium:


-       Clams and oysters


-       Broccoli and green vegetables


-       Dry fruits and mostly figs


-       Legumen


-       Sesame


-       Soya products


For better calcium absorption, avoid simultaneously consuming the upper products with vinegar and fruit acids, caffeine, and tannin.
