Calcium
Calcium is a mineral
essential for good health. Ninety-nine percent of
the calcium in your body is stored in your bones
and teeth. The remaining 1%, found mainly in your
blood, helps control muscle movements, blood clotting
and nerve impulses.
The skeleton is
a calcium storage bank. If your body does not get
enough calcium from food, you can lose calcium from
your bones. This will make your bones weaker.
Bones
reach their peak mass between the ages of 19-30. After
this time the goal is to maintain as much of this
bone mass as possible, or at least keep bone loss
to a minimum. The speed at which bone mineral is lost
relates to hormones, nutrition, physical activity
and genetics. Unfortunately, one in four women over
the age of 50 has osteoporosis, a condition in which
the bones become weaker and break more easily. Curved
backs, loss of height, and easily broken bones
are signs of osteoporosis.
