Calcium (Minerals)
Calcium plays an important role in many body functions, including:
Bone health: It is essential for the formation of bones and teeth, and helps maintain bone density.
Muscle contractions: It contributes to regulating muscle contraction.
Blood clotting: It plays a role in the blood clotting process.
Calcium can be obtained from foods such as:
Dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese).
Dark leafy greens (such as spinach and kale).
Fish (such as sardines).
Nuts (such as almonds).
Despite the importance of calcium, consuming excessive amounts of it, especially from supplements, may lead to health problems such as kidney stones. It is preferable to maintain a proper balance in its consumption.
