The Truth About Calcium

THE TRUTH ABOUT CALCIUM

Calcium is one of the most sought out supplements all around the world because most people understand the importance of bone health.

Doctors recommend calcium primarily to women and elder people to help keep the bones strong and prevent osteoporosis. But what many people don’t know is that calcium also helps prevent migraine headaches and problems with the nervous system such as muscle fatigue and sleeping disorders.

Unfortunately, the market is saturated with poor quality calcium supplements that instead of helping can cause health problems. These calcium supplements are generally made from egg shell or animal bones. Consuming these types of calcium can cause kidney stones and constipation.

For a calcium supplement to truly work, it must be properly absorbed by the body. This makes vegetable based calcium the best kind as it is easily digested and absorbed without causing constipation or stones.

Another important factor when choosing a calcium supplement, is ensuring that it includes Vitamin D. Without Vitamin D, the body is unable to properly absorb calcium and so it never fully reaches the bone structure and nervous system.

Keep in mind that the body needs calcium for many different functions and a calcium deficiency can lead to muscle fatigue, insomnia and headaches in women.

Stress and certain foods such as soda and caffeine deplete the body of calcium which is why it is recommendable that we all take calcium supplements according to our personal needs.

Having a healthy bone structure is very important as it affects your quality of life when you reach an elder age. In this age of scientific advances it is not too difficult for someone to live well over a hundred, but at what cost?

There is no point in living so many years if you’re resigned to a wheel chair. Longevity is only advantageous when quality of life is good. Our bone structure is our built in car and without it, mobility is not possible.
