Calcium Counts - The Vital Role of Calcium as an Electrolyte in Your Body
Calcium isn’t just for strong bones — it's a crucial electrolyte that keeps your heart, nerves, and muscles working efficiently.
In this post, we break down how calcium is absorbed, regulated, and stored in the body, and why maintaining optimal calcium levels is essential for everyday health.
Why Calcium Matters – Key Highlights:
• Maintains strong bones and teeth
• Supports proper muscle function and contraction
• Aids nerve signal transmission
• Plays a vital role in blood clotting
• Essential for a healthy heartbeat
• Regulated by hormones like parathyroid hormone and vitamin D
• Stored primarily in bones and released as needed
• Imbalances can cause cramps, fatigue, or bone issues
• Found in dairy, leafy greens, seeds, and fortified foods
• Critical during growth, pregnancy, and ageing
Let’s build awareness on how this essential mineral does so much more than we think. Your bones and heart will thank you💓
