Calcium an essential mineral for body functions


Calcutta, IndiaAdequate calcium intake is important so the human body can’t produce it. Even after reaching full skeletal growth, adequate calcium make is essential because the body loses calcium everyday through shed skin, nails hair and sweat. This lost calcium must be replaced daily through diet.

When the diet does not contain enough calcium to perform these activities calcium is taken from bones, the storage area for calcium.

In order to, let your body function properly the level of calcium in the blood must stay relatively constant. For this to happen, we need to consume enough calcium throughout the day otherwise our blood will “steal” calcium from our bones to maintain the level it requires. Think of our bones as “bank”. If our diet is low in calcium, our blood “withdraws” the calcium it needs from our bones.

When our diet is rich in calcium, we make “deposits” in our calcium bank i.e. bones. Overtime, if our withdrawals exceed our deposits,

Our bones can begin to weaken and become more susceptible to breaking.
