The Importance of taking a Calcium
Supplement
by: Ryan Cote'
Calcium is the most abundant
mineral in the human body and also an important supplement to
take. Calcium is needed to form bones and teeth and is also
required for blood clotting, transmission of signals in nerve
cells, and muscle contraction. The importance of calcium for preventing
osteoporosis, however, is probably its most well-known
role.
While anyone can benefit from taking a calcium supplement, it's
a MUST for those that rarely consume dairy products, especially
women because of the threat of osteoporosis. It seems that few
people realize how important calcium is to their body, but if
you consider the fact that it's needed for healthy bones, that
in itself is a strong argument to make sure you're getting
enough calcium daily. What's the adequate daily intake of
calcium? 1,000-1,200 mg daily.
So how do you choose a calcium supplement. A form of calcium
has recently emerged called coral calcium. It's a natural form
of calcium derived from Okinawa marine coral. The amazing thing
about coral calcium is that it naturally contains calcium and
magnesium in a 2:1 ratio. This biologically perfect ratio gives
your body a perfect pH balance while supplying the basic
ingredients for the rejuvenation of the body.
Since most of the body is comprised of water our pH level has a
direct effect on all body chemistry. An imbalanced pH describes
the pH level of the body when it is too acidic or too alkaline
for long period of time. Scientific studies have shown that for
a body to be healthy it must have a balanced alkaline system.
They found acidic systems are highly susceptible to
degenerative diseases including Cardiovascular Disease (the #1
killer in the U.S.), Cancer (#2 killer in the U.S.), and
Diabetes, as well as systemic weight loss.
I highly recommend you take a look at your eating habits and do
a careful evalution of how much calcium you are getting daily.
It's crucial you're intaking between 1,000 and 1,200 mg daily.
Most likely you will need to supplement your diet with a
calcium supplement. Coral calcium is proving to be a dominant
calcium supplement, but if you'd rather go with a regular
calcium supplment, calcium citrate is the form to take.
