The problem of calcium deficiency is actually common, there are many people who feel that their bodies are fine, but as soon as they do a physical examination there is a calcium deficiency problem. Calcium deficiency is very harmful, especially when long-term calcium deficiency, the consequences are very serious. What are the causes of calcium deficiency? Causes of calcium deficiency: 1. Dietary causes of calcium deficiency (1) excessive salt intake The main component of edible salt is NaCL (sodium chloride), and consuming too much edible salt, that is, too much sodium chloride intake, will increase the calcium ions in the urine excreted by the body, which means that it causes calcium loss and thus causes calcium deficiency. Therefore, in the daily diet, to achieve a low-salt diet, the daily salt intake is less than 3 grams. (2) excessive sugar intake The main component of sweets is carbohydrates, unlike staple foods, although the main component of staple foods is also carbohydrates, but the content of sweets is higher, calories are also relatively higher, so sweets are easy to eat more fat, and sweets do not contain vitamins and trace elements, so the intake of too many sweets, the body should also be relatively consumed reserves of vitamins and trace elements, which It contains calcium. So sweets eaten too much, easy to cause calcium deficiency and other symptoms, and easy to tooth decay. (3) Drinking too much coffee The recommended daily intake of caffeine for adults is 300 mg, and a cup of coffee on the market contains 150-200 mg of caffeine, and many office workers, especially those who work under pressure and often work overtime, may drink three cups of coffee a day, like three meals a day, and if you work overtime, you may have to add another cup, so the absolute intake of caffeine Excessive, and caffeine can lead to calcium loss. Therefore, the daily coffee consumption is excessive and long-term people, the body’s calcium loss, and the daily intake of calcium from food is not easily absorbed by the body, is likely to cause osteoporosis. (4) drinking too much carbonated beverages carbonated beverages are also common sparkling drinks on the market, many people drink a bottle of cold carbonated beverages in the hot summer, feeling all over the body are cold and comfortable, but carbonated beverages drink too much will destroy the balance of acidity in the body, so that the body is in a weak acidic state. According to nutritionists, the human body is in a weak alkaline state is a healthy state, the body is weakly acidic, it will intensify the dissolution of calcium salts, thus causing the loss of calcium in the body. 2, the body causes calcium deficiency (1) post-menopausal women women menopause is a process that must be experienced, also known as menopause, menopausal women’s body estrogen began to reduce, the bones inside the calcium loss, so menopausal women are particularly prone to osteoporosis, is the need to pay attention to calcium supplementation of the population. (2) Diabetic patients The insulin level in the blood of diabetic patients is low, and insulin is able to stimulate the body to form collagen, which helps the bones to store calcium, so diabetic patients are also more prone to calcium deficiency, triggering osteoporosis. (3) Insufficient production of vitamin D. The intake of calcium from the diet only ensures the intake of calcium, but the body does not necessarily absorb it, while vitamin D can promote the body’s absorption of calcium. The human body itself is able to synthesize vitamin D, but if its own vitamin D generation is insufficient, it may also cause calcium deficiency, and smoking and alcohol abuse and other bad habits in life may cause their own vitamin D generation is insufficient. 3, other reasons (1) insufficient light sunlight on the skin, can generate vitamin D in the body, but there is a saying called “a white cover three ugly”, and now people are white as the beauty, refuse to sun, that will put the skin tanned, see the sun does not go out, really want to go out, but also fully armed to hide The sun goes out, so it is likely to cause a lack of light, which leads to the lack of vitamin D synthesized by itself, causing calcium deficiency. (2) lack of exercise exercise may not necessarily accelerate the absorption of calcium, but more exercise more exercise can improve the density of human bones, thereby reducing bone loss, indirectly also reduce the loss of calcium, and lack of exercise is likely to cause calcium deficiency.
