Which of the following foods should a patient with a fracture consume to supplement calcium?
Disease description:
I accidentally fell and fractured a bone, and I'm currently resting at home with a cast. The doctor said I should increase my calcium intake to help the bone recover, but I don't know which foods are rich in calcium. Therefore, I would like to know which of the following foods can help supplement calcium?

Calcium-rich foods:
1. Dairy products: Milk, yogurt, cheese, and other dairy products are excellent sources of calcium. These foods are not only rich in calcium but also contain abundant vitamin D, which helps in the absorption and utilization of calcium, playing a positive role in fracture healing and bone repair.
2. Leafy green vegetables: Dark green vegetables such as spinach, kale, and Chinese broccoli are rich in calcium. Although the calcium content of these foods is not as high as that of dairy products, they can provide an additional source of calcium as part of a regular diet.
3. Seafood: Seafood such as salmon, sardines, shrimp, crab, kelp, and nori are also excellent sources of calcium. These seafood items not only contain abundant calcium, but are also rich in protein, phosphorus, vitamin D, and other nutrients that help promote bone growth and repair.
4. Legumes and nuts: Tofu and certain nuts such as almonds also contain a certain amount of calcium.
