CALCIUM . . . Exciting News For Healthy Weight-Loss! New research shows Calcium can help people shed pounds. It’s safe, and has numerous health benefits! Calcium, it seems, not only strengthens bones and helps lower blood pressure, it can also help people lose excess weight – and keep it off! “This is not a magic bullet, but adequate levels of Calcium can help ‘melt’ fat more quickly,” says Robert Heaney, a Calcium researcher at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, and the author of one of several recent studies on the subject. In fact, a Calcium deficiency may be one answer to the often-asked question, “I’m eating less, so why aren’t I losing weight?” – especially when you consider that nearly 80 percent of American adults, and 90 percent of women, aren’t getting enough of this essential mineral in their daily diets. In one study, Heaney examined data from 348 young women and found that the less Calcium they received from their diets, the more likely they were to be overweight or obese. Among those who took in around 400 milligrams per day or less, 15 percent were overweight. But among those who received the minimum daily recommended dose of 1,000 mg., only 4 percent were heavy. Interestingly, once people reach healthy weights, adequate Calcium levels have also been shown to prevent relapses. Apparently, Heaney says, when Calcium levels are low, a reactive substance called “CALCITRIOL” travels through the bloodstream and signals fat cells to stop breaking down fat and to start storing it as efficiently as possible. Basically, the body goes into a “starvation prevention” mode that obstructs efforts to lose weight. A high-Calcium diet, however, instructs the Calcitriol to back off, allowing the fat metabolism to speed up. Most people just don’t get enough Calcium from the foods they eat, which is why a daily Calcium supplement is key, say the experts. Fortunately, the overall amount required for maximum weight loss is the same as what’s recommended to protect skeletal strength, support bones and help keep blood pressure at healthy levels: minimum of 1,000 milligrams for men and women under 50, and 1,200 mg. for those over 50. Supplements alone won’t undo the damage of overeating and inactivity. “Calories still count,” says Heaney. “You won’t lose weight if you take in more energy than you burn.” Calcium Facts: What is it? One of the most abundant minerals in the earth’s crust, Calcium is crucial for healthy bones, skeletal strength, nerve function, as well as beneficial for keeping blood pressure healthy and managing weight. Dosage: To help lose weight, meet the RDA for Calcium. For men and women under 50, minimum of 1,000 milligrams; for adults 50 and over, 1,200 mg. Type: Calcium supplements come in a few different forms – usually calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, or calcium phosphate – available in tablets, capsules and powders. All are good options. Adequate vitamin D is required for proper absorption. And the Calcium will be better absorbed when taken with food. For people who don’t get sufficient Calcium from food and need more than one tablet per day, take them at different times; the body absorbs small doses more efficiently. Be Aware of the Risks: Taking more than 2,500 mg. a day could interfere with the way the body absorbs iron and zinc and may increase the risk of kidney stones.
