What If I Didn't Get Enough calcium?
Calcium is necessary to the body to maintain strong bones and help
muscles move as well as nerves carry to messages. Calcium also assists blood
vessels moving through veins and releases hormones and enzymes that affect every
part of the body.
The danger with not ingesting enough calcium is that there are no
immediate signs or harmful consequences. When there is a calcium deficiency, your
body automatically takes calcium from its storage place, your bones. but low bone
mass will greatly increase your risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures. The
symptoms
of very severely low calcium intake are tingling or numbness in your fingers,
convulsions, and abnormal heart rhythms which can eventually lead to death if no
dietary change is made.
Other advantages to sufficient calcium intake are decreased chances of
high blood pressure, and some studies have indicated a decreased risk of colon,
prostate cancer, or cardiovascular disease, but more research will be conducted
before these things are confirmed.
