Calcium
Calcium is an essential component for the preservation of the human skeleton and teeth.
Unlike most of the people think, there is an intense biological activity inside our bones. They are being renewed constantly by new tissue replacing the old one. During childhood and adolescence, there’s more production of new tissue than destruction of the old one, but at some point, somewhere around the 30 or 35 years of age, the process is inverted and we start to loose more tissue than what we can replace. In women the process is accelerated after the menopause (he period marked by the natural and permanent cessation of menstruation, occurring usually between the ages of 45 and 55); this is because their bodies stop producing the hormone known as estrogen, one of which functions is to preserve the osseous mass.
As well as being required for bone mineralisation calcium also assists the functions of nerves and muscles.
It is most commonly found in milk and milk products, but also in vegetables (broccoli, watercress),fish (sardines) nuts and beans.
A lack of calcium is one of the main causes of osteoporosis, which is a disease in which the bones become extremely porous, are subject to fracture, and heal slowly, occurring especially in women following menopause and often leading to curvature of the spine from vertebral collapse.
People who take little exercise, have osteoporosis, or osteoarthritis may wish to take a calcium supplement.
The Recommended Daily Allowance for Calcium is 800mg and the Upper Safe Level is 1500mg daily.
