Calcium
Calcium is essential for the development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth.From anti aging perspective it is important to note that the compound has a wide range of functions, including also helping the heart, nerves, muscles, and other body systems to work properly. However, to function as it should, calcium must be accompanied by other nutrients including magnesium, phosphorous, and vitamins A, C, D, and K. US is one of the leading coffee consuming nations, so it is important to notice that heavy use of caffeine can diminish calcium levels. Also, a diet high in protein can increase loss of calcium. In studies, there is evidence that suggests that people who consume high amounts of calcium, vitamin D, and milk in their diets are significantly less likely to develop colorectal cancer than those who consume low amounts of the same substances. Also importantly from anti aging perspective, both animal and human studies have found that dietary calcium intake (from low-fat dairy products) may be associated with a decrease in body weight.
