Calcium-1
Calcium is one of the basic constituents of human body. Nearly 99 percent of the body's calcium is stored in the bones and teeth where it plays two important roles. First, it is an integral part of the bone structure. Second, bone calcium serves as a bank that can release calcium to the body fluids in case of slightest drop in blood calcium concentration. Many people have the idea that, once deposited in bone, calcium (together with other minerals of bone) stay there forever-that once a bone is built, like a rock. Not so. The minerals of bones are in constant flux, with formation and dissolution taking place every moment.
After the age of 20, we tend to face problems of inadequate & imbalance intake of calcium in our body. This will result in losing 1% skeletal calcium yearly. When we are over 50, the total skeletal calcium will reduce as much as 30%. Early symptoms of calcium deficiency are fatigue, excess sweating, lack of concentration, poor appetite, constipation, diarrhea, insomnia, leg cramps etc. Cells need continuous access to calcium, so the body maintains a constant calcium concentration in the blood. The skeleton serves as a bank from which the blood can borrow and return calcium as needed.
Blood calcium is regulated, not by a person's daily calcium intake, but by hormones sensitive to blood calcium. This means that you can do without adequated dietary calcium for years and not suffer noticeable symptoms. Only later in life you suddenly discover that your calcium savings account has dwindled to the point at which the integrity of your skeleton can no longer be maintained. This means that throughout your adult years you have been developing the fragile bones, a condition known as osteoporosis, or adult bone loss. Osteoporosis constitutes a major health problem for many elderly people whose bones suddenly begin to shatter.
The RDA committee recommends 1,200 milligrams of calcium, the amount in about 4 cups of milk (approx.) each day for everyone, After age 24, throughout life, other factors can either hasten or slow the bone loss that occurs in everyone. Once a person reaches middle age and bone loss has begun, however, the person can still do a few things to maintain the bones, as discussed earlier.
Unfortunately, few girls meet the RDA for calcium during their bone-forming years. (Boys generally obtain intakes close to those recommended because they eat more food.) Even if girls do meet the RDA, this amount may not be enough to achieve the maximum bone density. As for adults, women rarely meet the RDA of 800 to 1,200 milligrams from food within their energy allowances. Furthermore, evidence is accumulating that calcium recommendations should be higher still, especially for postmenopausal women. Some authorities suggest 1,500 milligrams of calcium for postmenopausal women who are not receiving estrogen.
Magnesium; Magnesium is necessary for the operation of hundreds of enzymes, and it directly affects the metabolism of potassium, Calcium and vitamin D. Magnesium is a part of the protein-making machinery of every cell and is necessary for the release of energy.
Calcium Deficiency;Calcium deficiency may cause around 109 types of diseases.
Children:- Nightmare, Restlessness, Rickets, Bone disorders etc.
Adolescent :- Leg cramps, fatigue, restlessness, lack of concentration, weak teeth, easily catch cold, allergies etc.
Adult :- Fatigue, cramps, tiredness, catch cold, allwrgies etc.
Pregnant women :- Cramps, joint pains, edema etc.
Elderly :- Cramps, loss of bone mass, bone fracture, osteoporosis, arthritis etc.
