Q.How does Calcium work?
A. The bones and teeth contain over 99% of the calcium in the human body. Calcium is also found in the blood, muscles, and other tissue. Calcium in the bones can be used as a reserve that can be released into the body as needed. The concentration of calcium in the body tends to decline as we age because it is released from the body through sweat, skin cells, and waste. In addition, as women age, absorption of calcium tends to decline due to reduced estrogen levels. Calcium absorption can vary depending on race, gender, and age. Bones are always breaking down and rebuilding, and calcium is needed for this process. Taking extra calcium helps the bones rebuild properly and stay strong.
Q.What are the functions of Calcium?
A.Calcium is one of the most important minerals for the the human body. Calcium helps form and maintain healthy teeth and bones. Proper levels of calcium over a lifetime can help prevent osteoporosis.
Calcium helps your body with:
• Building strong bones and teeth
• Clotting blood
• Sending and receiving nerve signals
• Squeezing and relaxing muscles
• Releasing hormones and other chemicals
• Keeping a normal heartbeat
Q.What are the Food sources of Calcium?
A.The food sources of Calcium are as follows:
Dairy Products: Milk, Yoghurt, Cheeses, Buttermilk.
Other Sources: Green leafy vegetables such as broccoli, collards, kale, mustard greens, turnip greens, and bok choy or Chinese cabbage, Salmon and sardines canned with their soft bones, Almonds, Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, tahini, and dried beans, Blackstrap molasses.
Q.Why is Bone health important?
A.Your bones are continuously changing — new bone is made and old bone is broken down. When you're young, your body makes new bone faster than it breaks down old bone, and your bone mass increases. Most people reach their peak bone mass around age 30. After that, bone remodeling continues, but you lose slightly more bone mass than you gain. How likely you are to develop osteoporosis — a condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle — depends on how much bone mass you attain by the time you reach age 30 and how rapidly you lose it after that. The higher your peak bone mass, the more bone you have "in the bank" and the less likely you are to develop osteoporosis as you age.
Q. What Calcium do for Bone health upkeep?
A.This is perhaps one of the most widely recognized benefits of calcium. A study published the medical journal "Bone" proves the importance of calcium for bone health. Results showed that children with low calcium numbers who substantially upped their calcium intake significantly increased their BMC, or bone mineral content. BMC is considered a strong indicator of bone health.
