About Calcium
Calcium is an essential mineral vital for maintaining strong bones and teeth, as well as supporting muscle function, nerve signaling, and blood clotting. Common sources include dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt, along with plant-based options such as kale, broccoli, almonds, and fortified foods like tofu and orange juice. It is a cornerstone of many global cuisines, especially those emphasizing dairy, such as Mediterranean and Indian dishes. Calcium is celebrated for its role in preventing osteoporosis and aiding in muscle contractions, making it crucial for active lifestyles. However, excessive calcium intake can lead to kidney stones or interfere with the absorption of other nutrients. Striking a balance to meet recommended daily values ensures its benefits while minimizing risks. Calcium supplements may be an option for those with specific needs, but food sources are typically encouraged for optimal nutrition.
