It is the most abundant mineral in the <\/span><span class=\"s4\">body,<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> and <\/span><span class=\"s4\">it makes up<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> up to 1.9% of our weight. 98% of calcium is found in the bones, while the remaining 2% is found in teeth and body fluids.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s2\">THE ROLE OF CALCIUM IN THE BODY<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">The main function of calcium <\/span><span class=\"s2\">concerns the<\/span> <span class=\"s2\">musculoskeletal system<\/span><span class=\"s4\">. On the one hand, <\/span><span class=\"s4\">calcium<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> plays a structural role in the formation of bones and teeth; on the other hand, it <\/span><span class=\"s4\">serves as a reservoir<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> that <\/span><span class=\"s4\">guarantees<\/span><span class=\"s4\">some important metabolic needs and is useful for keeping plasma concentration consistent in the blood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">Calcium also plays other important roles in the body. It <\/span><span class=\"s4\">helps regulate<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> the contraction of muscles (thus preventing cramps) and <\/span><span class=\"s4\">influences<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> the transmission of nerve impulses. <\/span><span class=\"s4\">Moreover<\/span><span class=\"s4\">, the well-being of the cardio-circulatory system<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> depends on a good calcium intake<\/span><span class=\"s4\">, as it regulates the heartbeat rate, stabilizes blood pressure<\/span><span class=\"s4\">,<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> and keeps cholesterol levels at bay, with an overall effect of normalizing blood circulation. Furthermore, calcium is involved in some very specific cellular activities, such as the regulation of membrane permeabilities and cell differentiation. Finally, <\/span><span class=\"s4\">it<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> is also involved in <\/span><span class=\"s4\">enzyme<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> activation and in <\/span><span class=\"s4\">hormone<\/span><span class=\"s4\">synthesis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s2\">WHAT OCCURS IN THE CASE OF A<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> CALCIUM <\/span><span class=\"s2\">DEFICIENCY<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">In the absence of calcium, various problems <\/span><span class=\"s4\">may<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> occur. If the deficit concerns the first years of life,<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> this negatively impacts<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> the bones, with the risk of deformations and rickets. <\/span><span class=\"s4\">When a <\/span><span class=\"s4\">diet<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> does not contain <\/span><span class=\"s4\">a sufficient amount of<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> calcium<\/span><span class=\"s4\">, symptoms range from muscle cramps, tingling, headaches and irritability; up to osteo-articular dysfunctions, such as pain and bone fragility, fractures and osteoporosis. <\/span><span class=\"s4\">Having an e<\/span><span class=\"s4\">xcess<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> of<\/span><span class=\"s4\">calcium can also cause ailments, such as nausea and vomiting, constipation<\/span><span class=\"s4\">,<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> and mental confusion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">The daily calcium requirement varies<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> depending<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> on age, gender<\/span><span class=\"s4\">,<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> and health condition. In children 400-500 mg<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> are recommended<\/span><span class=\"s4\">, in adolescents 1,000-1,300 mg, in adults 800 mg, in the elderly 1,000 mg, in pregnant and nursing women 1,200-1,500 mg. <\/span><span class=\"s4\">Whatever the<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> case<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> may be<\/span><span class=\"s4\">, it is good <\/span><span class=\"s4\">practice <\/span><span class=\"s4\">to keep blood calcium under control, especially if suffer<\/span><span class=\"s4\">ing<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> from kidney stones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s2\">FOODS<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> RICH IN<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> CALCIUM<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">The foods richest in calcium are milk and<\/span> <span class=\"s4\">dairy products<\/span><span class=\"s4\">. Some scientific studies, however, <\/span><span class=\"s4\">suggest<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> that calcium <\/span><span class=\"s4\">found <\/span><span class=\"s4\">in dairy products is not easily absorbed by our body. In fact, it seems that the digestion of lactose involves the removal of calcium from the bones, due to excessive acidification caused by the dairy products themselves. Osteoporosis, for example, appears to be closely related to the consumption of dairy products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">Other foods of animal origin that are a good source of calcium are <\/span><span class=\"s4\">fatty <\/span><span class=\"s4\">fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines, <\/span><span class=\"s4\">and <\/span><span class=\"s4\">anchovies) and trout, shellfish (oysters, mussels, octopus<\/span><span class=\"s4\">,<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> and squid), crustaceans (shrimp<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> and <\/span><span class=\"s4\">lobster) and eggs (egg white). Meat, on the other hand, has a low calcium content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">Green leafy vegetables (spinach, chicory, chard, broccoli, savoy cabbage, cabbage, <\/span><span class=\"s4\">and <\/span><span class=\"s4\">turnip greens)<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> are also rich in calcium, along with<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> aromatic herbs (parsley, basil, sage, dill, oregano, thyme<\/span><span class=\"s4\">,<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> etc.), legumes (beans, lentils, green beans, chickpeas<\/span><span class=\"s4\">,<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> and soy), whole grains (wheat<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> and<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> buckwheat), sweet potatoes, dried fruit (walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios, <\/span><span class=\"s4\">and <\/span><span class=\"s4\">peanuts), oil seeds (sesame, flax, <\/span><span class=\"s4\">anch<\/span> <span class=\"s4\">chia), dried fruit (dried figs)<\/span><span class=\"s4\">, <\/span><span class=\"s4\">and algae (especially spirulina).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">In case of a deficiency, <\/span><span class=\"s4\">nutritionists suggest<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> consum<\/span><span class=\"s4\">ing<\/span> <span class=\"s4\">plant-based<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> milks with added calcium<\/span><span class=\"s4\">,<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> such as almond, coconut<\/span><span class=\"s4\">,<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> and soy milk. Other calcium-rich foods are bitter cocoa and spices such as pepper and cinnamon. <\/span><span class=\"s4\">Lastly<\/span><span class=\"s4\">, mineral waters<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> also contain calcium<\/span><span class=\"s4\">, especially those with a high fixed residue, <\/span><span class=\"s4\">however<\/span><span class=\"s4\">calcium dissolved in water is <\/span><span class=\"s4\">only partially<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> bioavailable for the human body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s5\">SOURCES<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"s8\">1) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epicentro.iss.it\/sali\/\"><span class=\"s6\">Sali minerali \u2013 Informazioni generali &#8211; EPICE<\/span><span class=\"s6\">N<\/span><span class=\"s6\">TRO<\/span><\/a><span class=\"s7\"> (<\/span><span class=\"s7\">Last <\/span><span class=\"s7\">viewed<\/span> <span class=\"s7\">11.07.2021<\/span><span class=\"s7\">)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"s8\">2) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epicentro.iss.it\/sali\/oligoelementi\"><span class=\"s6\">Sali minerali \u2013 Oligoelementi o micronutrienti &#8211; EPICENT<\/span><span class=\"s6\">R<\/span><span class=\"s6\">O<\/span><\/a><span class=\"s7\"> (<\/span><span class=\"s7\">Last <\/span><span class=\"s7\">viewed<\/span> <span class=\"s7\">11.07.2021<\/span><span class=\"s7\">)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"s8\">3) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sinu.it\/html\/pag\/12-MINERALI.asp\"><span class=\"s6\">LARN &#8211; Livelli di assunzion<\/span><span class=\"s6\">e<\/span><span class=\"s6\"> di riferimento per la popolazione italiana: MINERALI.
