Calcium is a major part of our diet because it is the most abundant mineral in the human body. It strengthens the bones, the teeth and also essential for the contraction and dilatation of the blood vessels, transmission of nerve impulses, intracellular signalling and muscle function. Without Calcium the following will happen:
Muscle Cramps: Calcium plays a major role in the biochemical processes that cause contraction of muscles and lack of calcium will cause muscle cramps. These are the painful contractions of the muscles that commonly affect the thighs and lower calf.
Bone Loss: Almost 99 percent of the calcium is stored in your bones and teeth. Calcium from your bones and teeth may also be reabsorbed into the blood due to the hormonal changes that happen in women after menopause. Along with other medications, calcium and vitamin D supplements may be prescribed to reverse bone loss. The supplements however are associated with a variety of side effects including kidney stones and they should not be used without a doctor.
Nervous System Disorders: Lack of calcium may affect the normal functioning of the brain, which will make you keep on forgetting things. It will also lead to anxiety, depression, insomnia and convulsions. It can also cause neuromuscular irritability and numbness in the fingers and toes.
Hypertension: Calcium also balances the ionic channels that are responsible for the contraction and dilatation of blood vessels. If there is a lack of calcium this will affect the blood flow which can involve you going to hospital regularly for certain blood tests.
