calcium Calcium is a metallic element Which occurs in nature generally in combination with other chem chem- chemicals Calcium is particularly abundant in the soil overlying limestone formations It is util util- lied by plants and these plants are eaten by animals some of which provide man with milk In this way milk becomes a rich source of calcium it is indeed the only really reany good source among natural foodstuffs Why Its It's Important It is common knowledge that calcium is important in the nor nor- mal coal development of teeth and bones It is not so commonly realized that that calcium is important tant also in the blood and in the functioning of the nerves and through them of the muscles Calcium utilization in the body is governed by two pairs of tiny I glands situated in or near the thyroid gland and called pars para thyroids Must lust Be Replaced Calcium like other nutrients is used in the body and then discarded either through the bowels or the kidney It must be replaced with a new supply This is true at all times of life The need for calcium is contino contin- continuous throughout life but varies from time to time Before birth when the tooth buds are being formed in the gums the need for calcium is great especially since bones are being formed too The need con con- continues heavy during childhood when bones and teeth are devel devel- developing The pregnant woman and nursing mother also need extra calcium Contrary to popular belief even the aged and aging have a I i continuous calcium requirement They tend to suffer from a bone disease known as osteoporosis in which calcium is lost and the bones are thinned and weakened The condition may be due to a prolonged inadequate intake of calcium While calcium is a major factor in this problem deficiencies in protein foods also may play a apart apart part thus emphasizing again the importance of maintaining the basic food group structure of the healthful diet Vitamin D necessary essary for calcium metabolism is furnished for adults by vitamin D fortified milk Fish liver oils are a re also a good source Youth Need high Another time when calcium demands are heavy is during the growth spurt of the adolescent when bones muscles and glands are undergoing active changes In populations where calcium in- in intake in take Is inadequate there may be bea a slowing of growth and a limit

cottage cheese though lower in calcium contributes an important amount A serving of ice cream in addition to two cups of milk will bring the calcium intake up to the average adult recommendation
