Calcium we think about the lack of it that meansour bones are not getting enough of that calcium which leads to osteoporosis which is that weakening of the bonebecause there’s not enough calcium within it and vitamin D deficiency is extremely common world wide and yessunlight is a great way to get ou rvitamin D although those bad ultravioletarrays can cause damage to our skin alsowe don’t spend as much time outside aswe did when we’re younger so we’re notgetting enough vitamin D so therefore we

Supplement

Need to supplement because it’s very hard to get it from our food and anothe rmajor deficiency that many of us have is magnesium which we know plays a role inover 300 metabolic functions andmagnesium is essential for theabsorption and metabolism not only forvitamin D but of calcium as wellmagnesium converts vitamin D into its active form so that it can help calciumget absorbed and we look at calcium inorder for calcium to get absorbedproperly it must have an acidic environment although with many millions and millions of people taking antacidsproton pump inhibitors the acid is notthere so where is that calcium going and when you take too much calcium and supplementation form not food we’ll go

How do we know how that

there after how do we know how that body can process that calcium to get it directly into thebones not into the bloodstream not intothe soft tissue not into those bloodvessels those arteries well that’s where vitamin K2 comes intoplay vitamin K1 is primarily our greenleafy vegetables vitamin K2 is our nattoour fermented foods as well as our organmeats and dairy products and a healthygut will only be an asset because thebacteria that live in the human gut alsoproduce small quantities of K2 and ifyou’ve been supplementing calcium for along time or you currently areyou might want to look into Vitamin K2the formulation mk7

what that does that tells the body tobring calcium directly into the bones to prevent osteoporosis to keep the bonesnice and strong it prevents the absorption of calcium in the arteries inthe soft tissue if it’s the kidneys theliver if it’s the heart the coronaryarteries that go to the heart or eventhe arteries that go to the brain itkeeps calcium out of the soft tissue andallows calcium to get absorbed into thebones and there are many researcharticles that have proven worldwide thatpeople who have been taking too much calcium supplements in excessthe body has a tendency to lay that extra calcium within the blood vessels and the blood vessels that are going tothe heart are called the coronaryarteries and tests have proven that there’s more coronary arterycalcification that’s present and this not only affects the heart but it can affect those blood vessels going to

The brain so if the arterial circulation that’s trying to get to the heart isbeing blocked off that means we lose oxygen to the heart we call it a heartattack and if blood supply is being blocked off to the brain because of that plaquing or that calciumwe call that a stroke and yes our bodyneeds calcium for our muscles to movefor our nerves to carry messages between our brain and every part of our bodycalcium helps blood vessels move bloodthrough the body and helps release thehormones that affect many functions ofthe body so you may be thinking where doI get my calcium from I really need itthe best place to get your calcium is from foods

and there are so many foods that have calcium All Your Greens your almonds your pumpkin seeds your seeds avocadoonions butternut squash spinach kaleSwiss chard fennel asparagus soy milkbok choy hedonami tofu quinoa sardines sweet potatoes there are so many foodsto get our calcium we don’t need to supplement I’ve always been against calcium supplementation

I’m always a bigbeliever into the foods that we eat thatis the best way to absorb it in the whole state not processed the way that our body can absorb it the best and ontop of the list the best thing that wecan do to keep our bones strong is touse our bones with weight-bearing likewalking running any sport that applies movement stress to the bone will keep the bone strong again healthy and the conclusion to many of these research articles shows that high total calciumintake was associated with a decreasedrisk of incident atherosclerosis over

long term particularly if achieved without supplementation use and calcium supplementation will increase the riskof incident coronary arterycalcification or atherosclerosis andwhat does this tell us we should begetting our calcium from our Foodsbecause there’s such little researchthat will prove that we are developing coronary artery calcificationatherosclerosis calcium within thearteries clogging within those arterieswhen we’re eating Natural Foods so make that attemptto search on the internet wherever you need to to look at all the different calcium foods out there there’s morethat you can ever imagine and yes those greens are like magic
