Calcium is a vital mineral which our body uses for building bones and keeping them healthy and enables our blood to clot, our muscles to contract and our heart to beat.

About 99% of the calcium in our bodies is in our bones and teeth

Daily Calcium Requirements-

An adult requires about 1000 mg of calcium per day.

Sources of Calcium-

Milk and its products, seafood, green leafy vegetables, broccoli, figs, soy, legumes, oranges, sesame, almonds, okra, tofu are the good sources of calcium

Causes of Calcium Deficiency-

Malnutrition
Malabsorption
Hormonal changes like the decline in estrogen hormone during menopause.
Certain conditions like Hypoparathyroidism, Lactose intolerance and kidney diseases.
Certain medications like corticosteroids, anticonvulsants, etc.
More intake of sodium and proteins.
Vitamin D and magnesium deficiency.

When we don’t get the calcium our body needs, it is taken from our bones. The deficit in the calcium deposits isn’t a problem that occurs instantly instead it is a pressure that builds up over a period of time. Similar to the withdrawal of cash from an ATM if regular checks aren’t provided to the account balance then it won’t be known until it’s completely gone.
