[QUOTE="Min Eduok, post: 293162, member: 94713"] [HEADING=2] the importance of Calcium to the human body.[/HEADING] Calcium is an essential mineral that plays many important roles in the human body. It is particularly important for maintaining strong and healthy bones and teeth, as well as for proper muscle function, blood clotting, and nerve function. Calcium is needed for our body to build and maintain bones. When we don't consume enough calcium through our diet, our body will take it from our bones, making them weak. That's why a diet rich in calcium is essential for children, teenagers, and young adults in order to build and maintain strong bones. As we get older, our bones tend to lose density and become more fragile, so it's also important to continue to consume adequate amounts of calcium throughout adulthood to help reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Calcium also plays a role in muscle function. The mineral helps our muscles contract and relax, which is why a lack of calcium can lead to muscle cramps and spasms. Calcium is also important for blood clotting. Blood clotting is the process by which the body forms clots to stop bleeding from injuries. Calcium ions play an important role in the activation of the clotting factors, so a deficiency in calcium can lead to prolonged bleeding times. Finally, calcium is needed for normal nerve function. Calcium ions are involved in the transmission of nerve impulses, and a deficiency in calcium can lead to poor nerve function and conditions such as tetany, which is characterized by muscle cramps and spasms. It's important to get enough calcium in your diet, as the body cannot produce it on its own. The recommended daily intake of calcium for adults is 1000 milligrams per day for men and women up to age 50, and 1200 milligrams per day for women over 50 and men over 70. Some good dietary sources of calcium include dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt, as well as green leafy vegetables like broccoli, kale, and spinach, and seafood like salmon and sardines [/QUOTE]
