Importance of Calcium

Dear Readers,

Every one of us now that Calcium is important for bone and teeth, lets have look into few topics about bone health.

Bone health is important so that your bones will be healthy and strong throughout your lifetime. It is especially important to build strong and healthy bones in the childhood and teen years to avoid osteoporosis and other bone problems later in life. Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones are fragile, making them fracture or break much easier. Taking care of your bones when you’re young will help prevent problems in the future.

You can build strong bones by getting enough calcium and weight-bearing physical activity during the and teen years, when bones are growing their fastest. Young people in this age group have calcium needs that they can’t make up for later in life. In the years of peak skeletal growth, teenagers build more than 25 percent of adult bone. By the time teens finish their growth spurts around age 17, 90 percent of their adult bone mass is established.

Your body continually removes and replaces small amounts of calcium from your bones. If your body removes more calcium than it replaces, your bones will become weaker and have a greater chance of breaking. By getting lots of calcium when you’re young, you can make sure your body doesn’t have to take too much from your bones. Bones have their own “calcium bank account,” so depositing as much calcium as possible during your tween and teen years will help you reach your mass. After age 18 the account closes – so you can’t add any more calcium to your bones. You can only maintain what is already stored to help your bones stay healthy.

Bones are living tissue. Weight-bearing physical activity causes new bone tissue to form, which makes bones stronger. This kind of physical activity also makes muscles stronger. When muscles push and tug against bones during physical activity, bones and muscles become stronger. For more information on weight-bearing physical activity and bone health, visit the Milk Matters Web site section, Increasing for better bone health.

But when it come to a point of taking calcium most of the people will say that they are taking enough calcium for there body. Let have a look into the following table how much calcium human body requires depending on age.



In the above table each glass represent 8 fl oz ( or 224ml ) milk, this is the recommended minimum calcium in take. Many of us will say that not only milk other food also we will have calcium we are taking that. but the fact is the many of us are not taking the necessary quantity of calcium if you want to know how much calcium will be there in other food please post your e-mail id in comments, i will update you with that data.
