Ladies with Menopause: Calcium is Essential!
13th April, 2011 - Posted by GEM_Author - No Comments
It is common knowledge that calcium is important for bone and teeth health, but what many people don’t know is that calcium plays even more vital roles in our bodies. For example, calcium helps with blood clotting systems that help to accelerate wounds in their healing processes. Calcium also aids in the production of essential enzymes and hormones that produce energy and control digestive and metabolic functions. In short, calcium is a very important mineral needed for the proper functioning of our bodies!
However, as important as calcium is to our health, most people do not even get close to the recommended daily amount. When our bodies lack calcium in our major systems and organs, they begin to pull it from other sources like our bones. This weakens our bones and subjects them to debilitating diseases like osteoporosis. For menopausal women, the situation is more critical because their lowered estrogen levels already cause accelerating bone mass loss. This, in conjunction with inadequate calcium levels, can subject menopausal women to dangerous health risks.
During menopause, women should increase their daily intake of calcium in order to maintain their bone density and protect their bones from bone loss. Calcium in doses of 1200mg or higher has also been proven to slow fat cells from forming and to help burn off fat, which is helpful for menopausal women, who are susceptible to weight gain during this period of their lives. GEM® recommends women to add more calcium-rich foods to their diets, such as dairy products (milk, cottage cheese), fish (salmon, sardines) and green leafy vegetables (kale, broccoli). GEM® also recommends that women invest in calcium supplements. Remember that calcium also needs vitamin D to properly absorb, so adequate vitamin D intake is just as important.
GEM®’s Keep It Cool® beverage helps women reduce menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, irritability and night sweats while also providing calcium as well as magnesium and vitamins A, C, D and E.
