What is more important to your bones than calcium? More importantly, what is the best natural source of calcium that you can easily get from nature? When you look at it plainly just like that what is more important to your bones than the calcium that you get from food?
All the calcium that your body absorbs is actually from the soil. The point I was getting across is that when you look at the label on the calcium supplement or the dairy on the label those are not really telling you anything. It should also be noted that the calcium that you get from food mostly comes from meat and dairy products.
In truth the best natural source of calcium is sea salt. Yes, sea salt in moderation is still the best way to obtain calcium as salt is rich in calcium and it is the substance the body uses most readily to carry minerals such as calcium across the walls of the arteries.
The problem today is most people eat far more than sea salt and the average American has a diet consisting of more than twice the amount of calcium as sea salt. The fact that you do need to have calcium in your diet does not mean you have to supplement it to supply you with the amount you need.
There is just no getting around it. One of the best natural sources of calcium is sea salt and from what I’ve seen some pretty expensive supplements also contain sea salt.
Now some of the things you might consider is whether the salt that you’re buying off the shelf is really pure. If it says it is then by all means it probably is, but there are some purveyors of salt that by chance have some trace of lead in them. You really need to stay clear of any salt that says it’s sea salt. Find a purveyor that says that their salt is 100% pure.
Another thing you might look for is colloidal minerals. Colloidal minerals are real minerals that come from bringing the oceans glacial surface minerals in a suspension with rain water.
The effects of colloidal minerals on the body are that they feed them mineral nutrients from the minerals naturally found in the environment. Colloidal minerals need to be taken in moderation because if you take too much you can develop a condition known as hypercolonization or overgrowth of the colon.
So as you can see it is very important to not only get the right kind of calcium but also the right amount of it. Now that you know that. I will give you a simple formula for you to use in order to determine if you’re getting the right amount of calcium, which I will give you in second step. It’s really not that hard but if you don’t apply these strategies to determine the right amount of calcium it still might not work.
Second Step: Calcium Content In Manufactured Food Stuffs
Calcium content in manufactured foods will be posted alongside the list of contents as soon as it is finalised. Make sure that you take this information seriously because the last thing you want to do is to buy food that will not help you develop strong bones and teeth.
When a food is processed and synthesised, all the existing fiber and natural components are eliminated. As a result, the food loses its source of calcium content, making the calcium essentially useless.
To get some idea of how much calcium there is in manufactured foods, here is a list of foods that contain at least 50 mg of calcium per 100 gram serving: steak, whole milk, Chocolate, Cheddar cheese, 3 ounces of fish, one egg, Granny Smith apple, one cup nettle infusion, consists of lemons, oranges,cled Daniels peas, amaranth, cantaloupe, cottage cheese, and plain yogurt. As you can see these are some very strong foods to base your daily diet on.
Summary
Over the next few weeks I will provide you with the Total recommended daily amount of calcium that you need to consume daily, based on your gender and your age. I will also give you some ideas for everyday food selections to ensure that you get the sufficient amount of calcium that you need, until that time I believe that you should also ensure that you are consuming sufficient vitamin D and vitamin K2.
Most importantly though, you need to ensure that you apply this information consistently and you apply it to your training and your workouts so that you get the results you want.
