What is the link between calcium and osteoporosis?
The vast majority of your calcium is located in your bones and teeth, and only a tiny amount is in the blood stream. The level of calcium in the blood is so critical however, that if you do not consume sufficient, your body will take the calcium from your own bone reserves. Over time this will lead to bone density loss, which is not then easy to restore. Adequate Calcium consumption is therefore VITAL.
Everyone over the age of about 35 produces less of the hormones needed to build and maintain bone density and women are at greater risk of developing osteoporosis after menopause. They also generally have thinner bones and smaller skeletons, making them more vulnerable to bone density loss.
Men are also affected by osteoporosis
Although men do not go through the menopause, they are still at risk of osteoporosis, and due to our sedentary life-styles and less nutritious foods, few men have the luxury of the bone density developed by their grandfathers and generations before. Calcium and other mineral supplementation combined with weight bearing exercise is therefore highly recommended formen of all ages.
