Hello 👋🏼 everyone! Let’s talk about calcium today, and happy #foodfriday… calcium has been a very important mineral in my healing process and recovery, so I wanted to share something about it…#fuelyourbody #healingjourney #functionalnutrition #spinach #foodisfuel #enjoyfoodenjoylife #knowledgeispower 
.
Calcium is an essential mineral, that is so specially IMPORTANT for SIGNAL TRANSMISSION between cells. Calcium is often called a “second messenger. In the central NERVOUS SYSTEM, calcium is required for nerve cells to release neurotransmitters and in the muscle cells, it promotes contraction. Calcium is also important cofactor for MANY ENZYMES especially those involve in blood clotting. 
.
The recommended daily intake value of calcium varies per age. For children: 1,000 mg and for adults: 1,000 to 1,500 mg per day. 
.
When calcium levels go below ⬇️ the normal range it causes a deficiency condition known as HYPOCALCEMIA. 
Now, no more than 600mg of calcium supplements should be taking at once, so make sure you make a consult with a health professional. Vitamin D may be added to calcium supplementation to improve the ABSORPTION of the mineral. 
.
Calcium is especially important for signal transduction in cells. For this reason, it is sometimes called a “second messenger”— couple the fact that calcium is necessary for neurons to release neurotransmitters in the brain 🧠, calcium PLAYS and IMPORTANT ROLE in the areas of the brain 🧠 responsible for storing and retrieving MEMORY. 
.
Remember to lower your sodium 🧂 intake, because in addition to cause the risk of hypertension, high sodium diets ALSO increase urinary CALCIUM EXCRETION. 
.
Increase intake of fruits 🍎 vegetables 🥦 and calcium-rich foods to mitigate the effects of sodium on blood pressure and bones 🦴…think about it.

I hope this information ℹ️ was helpful! Share and save for future references 😉
