Importance of Calcium in the human body...

Calcium is one of the most important and abundant minerals in
the body. Besides providing the skeletal structure for bones and
teeth, calcium plays a key role in many other day-to-day
functions of the body. Calcium is important for the normal
clotting of the blood, the conduction of nerve impulses, and the
contraction and relaxation of muscles and blood vessels, as well
as the regulation of body fluids, including hormones and
enzymes.
In fact, calcium is so important that your body has a feedback
system to maintain calcium at a constant level. Your body has a
similar system for sodium and potassium, too. Whenever the blood
and bodily functions need more calcium, it is pulled from your
bones, where it is stored.
Your body can’t make its own calcium, so the only way to
get enough is to eat calcium-rich foods. And if you don’t
get enough calcium in your diet, you can end up with weakened
bones, increasing the risk for fractures later in life.
