What is calcium?

Calcium is an essential and most abundant mineral found in your body. You can get this supplement from advertisements on dairy milk. If this is the case, you realize that the mineral is important for building strong and solid bones. Beyond that, calcium is important for the thickening of the blood, muscle constriction, and heart rate. These are the reasons why it is so important to get enough calcium from the foods you eat. If your body is not getting enough calcium, it can lead to weak bones, thin bones, osteoporosis, and fractures.
How much calcium do I need?

The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for calcium is different depending on your age and gender. The normal adult needs about 1,000 mg per day. In the case of pregnancy, breastfeeding, or menopause, your needs are a little higher. Choosing foods rich in calcium is an incredible method to solve this problem. Read on to discover some of these calcium-rich nutrients.
