Women on diets need much ca than normal to avoid bone
loss, say Rutgers University researchers.
Studies showed a weight loss diet of 1.5 pounds a week for 6
weeks cuts absorption of calcium. In 57 biological time
dieters it was discovered that those women who took 1,800 mg
of ca a day absorbed 78 percentage much ca than those
who took only 1,000 mg a day. To prevent bone loss, women
dieting after climacteric should get 1,700 mg of ca a
day, the experts say.
For folk on low-fat, high fiber diets ca requirements
are besides higher. Studies show that 19 percentage less ca
is absorbed. It is theorized that the healthier diet moves
food quicker
through the gi tract.
While it is common cognition that ca is necessary for
bone-growth research shows that ca besides fights fat
absorption. Studies reveal that ca blocks fat storage
in fat cells. A minimum of 1,000 mg. of ca daily
improves total cholesterin and nice HDL, but lowers bad LDL.
Despite the promotion of the importance of ca for
healthy bones research shows that consumption has gone down
over the past 30 years.
Experts recommend 1,000 mg of ca and 400 IU of nutriment
D daily for folk under 50, and 1,500 mg of ca and 800
IU of nutriment D for those over 50. The safe upper limit for
calcium intake has been set at 2,500 mg a day. Experts think
going above that on a daily basis may invite excretory organ stone
formation.
Once started, ne'er
finish taking calcium/vitamin D
supplements daily. Department of agriculture researchers found that after a 3-
year study over one-third of participants stopped-up taking the
supplements. Inside
one year women lost all bone-density
gains and men lost their gains in two years.
For those who are milk sugar intolerant ca and nutriment D
supplementation is even as much important because it wish be
difficult to get the daily requirement through diet alone.
For those allergic to cow's milk. Drink enough soy milk to
give you 500 mg of ca per glass as compared to 300 mg
in cows milk. Studies at Creighton University in Omaha,
NE, showed that 25 percentage less ca is absorbed from soy
milk as cows milk.
