re.coffee addiction + NEGATIVE CALCIUM BALANCE ~ Amma's Warnings

[Guest guest]

Om amriteswaryai namaha ~ dear friends,

 

The following nutritional/medical science seems to reinforce Amma's

warnings about COFFEE, SOFT DRINKS, EXCESSIVE SALT, ALCOHOL and

CIGARETTES.

 

A Negative Calcium Balance( NCB ) occurs if more calcium is lost from

the body than is absorbed from the diet. Calcium is lost mainly from

bone...

 

The following contribute to A Negative Calcium Balance:

Coffee, Soft Drinks( sugar, phosphoric acid, caffeine )

Alcohol, Cigarettes, Drugs, etc

Excessive Salt

Animal Proteins( including dairy, fish ) ~ so far I am not aware of

any warnings about animal proteins from Amma directly; but Amma does

say( sometimes ) "go by the advice of your doctor".

Perhaps there are other things; the above is what comes to mind now.

 

My doctor says that Animal Proteins not only contribute to a Negative

Calcium Balance but also are associated with various cancers( the

scientific link seems as strong as for lung cancer and cigarettes ).

 

Taking huge amount of Calcium Supplements does not solve the problem;

it can even increase the Negative Calcium Balance not lower it !

 

My medical doctor( who I see only during free public lectures; knock

on wood ) recommends getting your absorbable calcium mainly from

plant food( especially green leafy veggies ) and to make sure you get

enough vitamin D either from sun light and/or a good supplement;

there can always be exceptions due to health and environmental

situations.

 

Here are some educational articles :
