In childhood everyone was told by their parents to ‘eat vegetables’ or eliminate full glass of milk as green vegetables like spinach are a good source of calcium and milk is one of the best and widely available sources of calcium Is. But, why calcium? This is because calcium is one of the most important minerals for the human body because of its importance in the functioning of vital organs such as the brain and skeletal muscles.
Highlighting the importance of calcium in bone health, experts revealed that astonishingly 99% of the calcium in the human body is stored in the bones and teeth which gives them strength and structure. But according to health experts, calcium in the body of women does much more than strengthen the bones.
Additionally, Vikas Singh, CEO and Founder of Fitpage, claims that menstruation, pregnancy and menopause overestimate calcium requirements that increase with age or affect the performance of the female body.
Experts say that calcium deficiency gives rise to conditions like osteoporosis, due to which bones become weak and brittle.
According to Fitpage, calcium helps with proper brain function by regulating neurotransmitters, or messengers of the brain, and aiding in memory. Not only that, it also helps the muscles to contract quickly and efficiently, which is very important for runners.
The CEO of FitPage claims that women who run may be at higher risk of osteoporosis, and this may be because they consistently engage in high-intensity exercise, such as running.
Osteoporosis in general affects 9 million women, mainly postmenopausal women, according to the American online publisher, WebMD, which also suggests that an additional 34 million women are estimated to have bone loss that predisposes them to the condition. puts at risk.
Not only this, the Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation claims that one in two women over the age of 50 will break a bone because of osteoporosis.
Singh further explains that if a woman trains for more than seven hours per week her chances of developing osteoporosis are increased, and the condition weakens the bones to such an extent that the simple act of running can fracture a bone. This is because a person applies approximately three times the weight of the body through each blow. And all this can be avoided by taking adequate amount of calcium which prevents osteoporosis.
