The right amount of calcium intake is a major concern today, especially for older women, who are at high risk for osteoporosis. As the most common mineral in the body, calcium is important to everyone. We depend on calcium for the development of strong bones and teeth, proper muscle action, heart health, and a functioning nervous system. Calcium also helps in maintaining the body’s acid balance, as well as in blood clotting and other processes.

Even when major symptoms like bone loss are not there, a calcium deficiency in the body can cause other problems, including muscle pains and cramps, anxiety, sleep disorders, and hyperactivity.

Do we need a better diet to stop this from happening? If we do, we should first think about making the most of the calcium that’s already given to us in our food. We know that eating a particular food is not enough after a certain age. We also need to exercise, and take vitamins that help as well. Maintaining a healthy acid balance by following a diet that consists of the right foods such as vegetables and fruits is important as well.

The diet we choose to use needs to be able to do everything that is needed. It needs to maintain a good acid level, keep calcium high, and also keep us energized to be able to take on our day.

It is also important to get a good amount of sunlight so that our body can produce Vitamin D which is used to absorb calcium from foods. People who live in the northern parts of the world need a natural vitamin D supplement such as fish liver oil during the winter months, when sunlight and outdoor activities are at a low.
