  CALCIUM Calcium is one of the essential nutrient in our diets. Every cell in the body uses calcium, including the nervous system, muscles, and heart. Human body uses calcium to build strong bones and teeth, keep you healthy while getting older, send messages through the nervous system, help your blood clot, your muscles contract, and regulate the heart’s heartbeat.   If you don’t get enough calcium in your diet, in the result your body will take it from your bones to ensure normal functioning of the cell, which can link you to Osteoporosis disease. Osteoporosis is a “silent” disease, in the case of osteoporosis our body loss bone mass. Sometime calcium deficiency can lead to grumpy, anxiety, depression, and sleeping issues. Getting enough calcium in your diet is not just important for older people. It’s also vital for children, teens, and young adults since we continue building bone mass into our mid-20s. From then on, we can lose bone mass without sufficient calcium in our diets. W
