The Benefits of Calcium
Everyone knows that milk is an excellent source of calcium.
But what is the problem? Why is calcium so important? And why do children need
it more than adults?
Calcium is a responsible element for healthy bones and
teeth; without it, adults and children are susceptible to osteoporosis, a
condition in which bones become fragile as a result of tissue loss. Calcium
helps maintain bone tissue and stay strong and healthy, which is particularly
important in children and adolescents who are still developing bone mass.
But osteoporosis is not the only thing against which calcium
fights! According to the Punjab Food Authority of the Pakistan, calcium helps
your body to...
- Coagulation of blood
- Sending and receiving nerve signals
- Tighten and relax the muscles
- Release of hormones and other chemicals
- Keep a normal heart rhythm
In addition, calcium intake has been associated with low
blood pressure, a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, and a lower risk of
cardiovascular disease.
Calcium itself is not enough, though - vitamin D is the only
way to absorb calcium! That's why milk is the perfect way to get the calcium
your body needs. It is enriched with vitamin D specifically to help your body
absorb the calcium it needs!
If you run out of milk, here are some great food sources to
increase your daily calcium intake:
Other dairy products such as yogurt, buttermilk and most
cheeses
- Green leaves such as broccoli, green cabbage, kale, turnip greens, bok choy
- Almonds and Nuts
- Sunflower seeds and tahini
How do you make sure you consume enough calcium in your
diet?
What is Pure-milk?
This time I was at home, my father told me this beautiful
thing. Here is my version of what he said:
Often, we have all heard this phrase: pure milk. Have we
ever wandered what does this mean? Try to think of the meaning of pure milk.
Many of us will end up saying that milk that has not been adulterated. Here.
Milk as such is only milk. You do something, you can only make it unclean, and
you can never make it purer.
The same goes for this creation, our society, this nation
and all that. We all complain about all this. Many of us try to change things
for better; and finally meddle with his delicate balance.
Therefore, the status quo is always the purest status. You
interfere, you make it impure! Relax and enjoy the show!
