How Calcium Affects The Health Of Your Bones

[BrattyNerdGirl]

As a kid I was always told to drink milk because calcium was important for bone health. But knowing WHY calcium is so important is fascinating.

[frewq]

its important to say that vitamin D is even more important. if wont supplement enough of this, ur body's ability to take in calcium will be limited

Good calcium sources:
2 dried figs – 100mg
200g baked beans – 85mg
70g red kidney beans (canned) – 50mg
90g green or French beans – 50mg
95g green or white cabbage – 50mg
110g broccoli (steamed) – 50mg
40g watercress – 50mg
400g tinned tomatoes – 50mg
8 dried apricots – 50mg
1 large orange – 50mg
Eating a variety of fruit and vegetables is important for good health – but the ones highlighted above can also contribute towards your daily calcium total. Eat plenty nuts, green beans, cabbage, broccoli and canned tomatoes.

For years, my dad drank a gallon of milk a day. On Monday, he had knee replacement surgery. The surgeon said he had never seen such dense bones, and holes had to be pre-drilled for the pins because they weren't enough to penetrate the bone on their own.

I've always thought that the bones were pure solid like a rod, I never knew that zooming bones would show this amazing pattern!! Also never knew how calcium really affects the health of bones!

Well.. skeletons seem less scary now that I know they're just made of the crusty sponge from my humidifier.

My husband always drank lots of milk..He now has parkinsons from all the pesticides in it as confirmed by a Hawaiian milk study.

Many studies showed dietary and supplemental calcium is not effective to increase bond density. The milk industry did a good job.

I have prescribed calcium + Vitamin D supplements for mild osteoporosis. I saw the difference in my nails the most, I have the strongest nails in the world now

this is why I use a nano-Hydroxyapatite toothpaste (not Fluoride). 'nano' because it's small enough to infiltrate the tooth enamel.

The unique pattern of the inside of a bone is called trabeculae, which is formed due to different kinds of stress, which stimulates thicker trabaculae. Therefore exercising improves bone strength since there is a lot of stress on the bone.

It’s not calcium alone but collagen and bone-related proteins that generate the biomineralization that forms bones.

For years physicians have promoted calcium intake for strong bones, when it’s animal proteins that do the job.

Where can i learn more about this please.

Your body does not need interspecies adult breastfeeding. It needs the correct calcium from plants.

[summervegas]

What about if I'm lactose intolerant and I drink soy milk, what do you recommend doctor.

[timothysmith]

Why are some bodies intended to be donated to science, rejected?

[timothysmith]

You mentioned two components. What’s the second component?

[isekaibarnskye]

So youre telling me bones arent actually solid calcium, but are really crystals?!
