Tip of the Week

Most people know that calcium is an essential element of strong bones and teeth, and that as we age; we usually need to supplement our diets with more calcium to keep our bodies healthy and strong. Calcium deficiency can lead to osteoporosis, a disease that leads to weaker bones and more susceptibility to fractures, but there are many other health benefits offered by calcium, as well.

For example, studies indicate that calcium intake helps prevent kidney stones, and some other studies point tentatively to calcium's prevention of the formation of colon polyps, which can often lead to colon cancer if left untreated. Other studies indicate that calcium can help lower blood pressure, too. Calcium deficiency can lead to rickets and other ailments, so calcium is essential to good health for any number of compelling reasons.
