Why Calcium?

Ever wondered why Calcium is so crucial to your health and wellbeing? Read on!

Calcium is one of the most important and abundant minerals in the body. Besides providing the skeletal structure for bones and teeth, calcium plays a key role in many other day-to-day functions of the body. Calcium is important for the normal clotting of the blood, the conduction of nerve impulses, and the contraction and relaxation of muscles and blood vessels, as well as the regulation of body fluids, including hormones and enzymes.

In fact, calcium is so important that your body has a feedback system to maintain calcium at a constant level. Whenever the blood and bodily functions need more calcium, it is pulled from your bones, where it is stored.

Your body can’t make its own calcium, so the only way to get enough is to eat calcium-rich foods. And if you don’t get enough calcium in your diet, you can end up with weakened bones, increasing the risk for fractures later in life.

In fact , good intakes of calcium can help reduce your risk of developing a brittle bone disease (osteoporosis) later in life. Apparently 1 in 3 women and 1 in 12 men over the age of 5O face this condition.
