Calcium Supplements – Serious Risk to Heart Health

Many people think that calcium is an important mineral only for bone health.

In fact, calcium is also necessary for regulating blood pressure.

Calcium is alkaline and if the blood becomes too acidic then the body goes into shock and the person falls into a coma.

It is found in bones because they provide an efficient way of 'storage.'

The human body is unable to produce calcium and therefore must obtain it through foods or supplements.

The foods richest in calcium are:

Dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt,
Greens like kale, spinach, and vegetables like broccoli,
Beans,
Sardines,
Calcium deficiency causes many problems in the body, which you can learn about by clicking here.

This leads people to turn to additional supplements of this mineral. However, even these supplements seem to create problems in the body.

Calcium Supplements, Serious Risk to Heart Health

Studies referenced by AgroWeb.org explain that calcium supplements sold without a prescription in pharmacies may pose a serious risk to heart health.

These supplements increase the risk of clogged arteries, hardening of the arteries, and the development of heart disease.

The opposite happens with calcium obtained from food, that is, from natural sources, which is good for heart health.

This, according to experts, indicates that the body is unable to process calcium as a supplement which also contains other substances.

There are experts who are convinced that calcium supplements are harmful to the kidneys and promote the appearance of stones.

Considering these findings of several studies on this topic, many American doctors recommend that their patients obtain calcium through natural food sources to protect not only the heart but also the kidneys.
