hi everybody,,
im new here. please welcome me..
this was some great information on calcium deficiency. One of the major symptoms of a deficiency of this important mineral are skeletal abnormalities. Osteopenia, osteomalacia, osteoporosis and rickets may all be caused by calcium deficiency.
The bones act as a reservoir for calcium. When the amount of calcium in the blood supply dips too low, calcium is borrowed from the bones. It is returned to the bones from calcium supplied through the diet. When diets are low in the mineral, there may not be sufficient amounts available to be returned to the bones. Over time, this net loss can lead to osteopenia or osteoporosis.
Other symptoms of calcium deficiency include :insomnia ,tetany ,premenstrual cramps and hypertension (high blood pressure) .
Low calcium intakes have also been linked to premature births and some forms of cancer, including colon and breast cancer.
