WOMEN~and Calcium~ IMPORTANT INFORMATION

[Guest guest]

YES YES YES!!!! Look at the posts from last week for some long articles

about Mg.... a VERY important supplement. It's also very important to

make sure you have the right kind of calcium - the kind in Tums/Rolaids

isn't gonna cut it...

 

Peace!

Thanks so much for this...

 

I have been trying to balance my ph (using the strips for testing).

And I have cut down on cola (diet) drastically going over instead to

carbonated water. Drinking lemon water and taking acidophilus and

calcium/magnesium.

 

I know I was feeling exhausted but put it down to age. Not so.

Feeling better and the ph is improving but great post. I appreciate it.

WOMEN~and Calcium~ "IMPORTANT INFORMATION"

The US Government recommended daily allowance for calcium for healthy adults is 1,000 mg/day, and it rises to 1,500 mg/day for those over 65. According to the National Institutes of Health, a large percentage of Americans are not getting enough calcium in their diet.In fact, over 200 degenerative diseases and medical conditions have been linked to calcium deficiency. Among them are:Alzheimer's DiseaseAngina ArteriosclerosisArthritisBone SpursCancerChronic Fatigue SyndromeDiabetesEczemaFibromyalgiaGallstonesGoutHeadachesHeart DiseaseHiatal HerniaHigh CholesterolHypertensionJoint PainKidney StonesLupusMuscle CrampsOsteoporosis Frequent hives, chronic fatigue, canker and cold sores, muscle cramps (Charlie Horses), and itchy skin may all be symptoms of calcium deficiency.The primary cause of calcium deficiency is our diet. The Standard American Diet (SAD) which typically consists of high-fat, high-protein, high-phosphate, high sodium foods and beverages. Examples include red meats, refined grains, heavily processed foods, bakery goods and soft drinks (especially cola drinks which contain large amounts of phosphoric acid). This is an over-acidic diet, and this upsets the body's acid/alkaline balance by draining our body of alkaline minerals, like calcium.A number of substances in our food can inhibit the absorption of calcium:Phytic acid, found in bran, whole cereals and raw vegetablesUronic acid, a component of dietary fiberOxalic acid, found in certain fruits and vegetables Saturated fats, found in many of our foodsAlcohol, in any formAluminum, in the form of antacid medication, when taken in excessIt is possible for foods to contain calcium and for that calcium to have limited availability to the body. The reason is that these foods contain calcium-binding substances called oxalates (found in many green vegetables) or phytates (found in unleavened grain products). Oxalates bind with calcium to produce insoluble salt (calcium oxalate), which cannot be absorbed by the body. Spinach, beet greens, chard and rhubarb contain calcium, but they also contain oxalates that bind with calcium and interfere with calcium absorption. The calcium content of these foods should not be counted as part of your daily calcium intake. Cocoa, soybeans, cashews, and kale also include oxalates.Many foods that are high in fiber also contain phytate, which inhibits calcium absorption. Wheat bran has been shown to have a significant inhibiting effect.A secondary cause is stress. Stress removes magnesium from our cells and replaces it with calcium from our blood and bones. This causes our muscles to become tense as we go into our fight-or-flight mode.We constantly lose calcium from our bloodstream through urine, sweat,and bowel movements. It is renewed with calcium from our bones. In this process, bones continuously lose calcium. This bone calcium must be replaced through dietary intake of calcium and calcium supplements if we do not get enough calcium in our food.Our calcium needs change throughout life. Up until the age of 30 or so, we typically consume more calcium than we lose. Adequate calcium intake during childhood and adolescence is especially important. Later, the body begins to slip into "negative calcium balance," and the bones start to lose more calcium than they take up. The loss of too much calcium can lead to decreased bone density and osteoporosis.Pay attention to foods that cause calcium loss through the urine. You lose calcium daily through the urine. While a certain amount is perfectlynatural, there is evidence to suggest that calcium loss through the urine is increased by excess consumption of salt and caffeine: Salt (Sodium) This is the most common cause of such calcium loss through the urine. Over 90% of sodium comes from food rather than from table salt. You should minimize you sodium intake for this reason, and other health considerations as well (such as high blood pressure).Caffeine This is the second most common of calcium loss through the urine. Most experts agree that two to three cups a day is probably not detrimental provided that your calcium intake is adequate. If you consume more than three cups in a day, some people suggest drinking at least one glass of milk for every cup of coffee. However, unless you drink non-fat milk, this suggestion will also result consuming and increased amount saturated fats and cholesterol, so this is not the best solution. Drinking pure water with ionic coral calcium is a much healthier way to offset these negative effects of caffeine. **************************************************WWW.PEACEFULMIND.COM Sponsors Alternative Answers-HEALING NATURALLY- this is the premise of HOLISTIC HEALTH.

Aren't you supposed to take magnesium along with calcium (for absorption?).

I remember hearing/reading to take have the amount of magnesium as you do

calcium.

The US Government recommended daily allowance for calcium for healthy

adults is 1,000 mg/day, and it rises to 1,500 mg/day for those over

65. According to the National Institutes of Health, a large

percentage of Americans are not getting enough calcium in their diet.

 

In fact, over 200 degenerative diseases and medical conditions have

been linked to calcium deficiency. Among them are:

 

Alzheimer's Disease

Angina

Arteriosclerosis

Arthritis

Bone Spurs

Cancer

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Diabetes

Eczema

Fibromyalgia

Gallstones

Gout

Headaches

Heart Disease

Hiatal Hernia

High Cholesterol

Hypertension

Joint Pain

Kidney Stones

Lupus

Muscle Cramps

Osteoporosis

Frequent hives, chronic fatigue, canker and cold sores, muscle cramps

(Charlie Horses), and itchy skin may all be symptoms of calcium

deficiency.

 

The primary cause of calcium deficiency is our diet. The Standard

American Diet (SAD) which typically consists of high-fat, high-

protein, high-phosphate, high sodium foods and beverages. Examples

include red meats, refined grains, heavily processed foods, bakery

goods and soft drinks (especially cola drinks which contain large

amounts of phosphoric acid). This is an over-acidic diet, and this

upsets the body's acid/alkaline balance by draining our body of

alkaline minerals, like calcium.

 

A number of substances in our food can inhibit the absorption of

calcium:

 

Phytic acid, found in bran, whole cereals and raw vegetables

 

Uronic acid, a component of dietary fiber

 

Oxalic acid, found in certain fruits and vegetables

 

Saturated fats, found in many of our foods

 

Alcohol, in any form

 

Aluminum, in the form of antacid medication, when taken in excess

 

It is possible for foods to contain calcium and for that calcium to

have limited availability to the body. The reason is that these foods

contain calcium-binding substances called oxalates (found in many

green vegetables) or phytates (found in unleavened grain products).

Oxalates bind with calcium to produce insoluble salt (calcium

oxalate), which cannot be absorbed by the body. Spinach, beet greens,

chard and rhubarb contain calcium, but they also contain oxalates

that bind with calcium and interfere with calcium absorption. The

calcium content of these foods should not be counted as part of your

daily calcium intake. Cocoa, soybeans, cashews, and kale also include

oxalates.

 

Many foods that are high in fiber also contain phytate, which

this process, bones continuously lose calcium. This bone calcium must

be replaced through dietary intake of calcium and calcium supplements

if we do not get enough calcium in our food.

 

Our calcium needs change throughout life. Up until the age of 30 or

intake during childhood and adolescence is especially important.

It's higher than that, I think.

 

1200 for pre-menopausal women and 1500 for

menopausal women.
