Why do you need calcium?
We all know that calcium plays an important role in maintaining strong bones and building strong teeth. This essential mineral also facilitates nerve signal transmission, helps in blood clotting, and aids in the contraction and relaxation of muscles. Since most of the calcium you obtain from your diet gets stored in bones and teeth, lack of this mineral can impair your bone health and up the risk of osteoporosis. This is the reason, you must fulfill your daily needs of calcium to keep your bones healthy and to maintain your overall well-being.
What to do if you have low calcium levels?
Based on your calcium blood test reports, your doctor may advise you to increase your intake of foods rich in calcium. Foods that are rich in calcium include dairy products such as milk, yogurt, and cheese, oranges, and foods that have added calcium like breakfast cereals, soymilk, bread. In cases of severe calcium deficiency, calcium supplements might be prescribed. Remember that calcium supplements should always be taken as per your doctor’s advice.
