As they always say, Calcium makes the bones and joints strong. Going further than that, calcium assists in the absorption of nutrients and it is responsible for the transmission of messages within your cells and it is also required for the contraction of muscles.

Every person needs to get at least 1000 mg. Of calcium everyday to supply the needs of the bones and other organs. If by any chance that less than 1000 mg. Of calcium is consumed for the day, then the body will consume calcium for the bone and distribute it to the other organs. Clearly, this is not a good way to supply the organs with calcium. This will only weaken the bones and cause diseases such as Osteoporosis.

Consult your dietitian regarding a high calcium diet. Take care of your self and your bones and start chewing up on calcium!
