Natural Weight Loss and Calcium
Calcium is one of the most important minerals in the body. The functions of calcium are many, and not having enough calcium in your diet can result in a wide variety of preventable health problems. Dietary calcium intake has also been associated with weight loss. Specifically, it has been shown to facilitate fat loss, improved removal of dietary fat and the reversal of gradual weight gain. Calcium has also been shown to:
- Prevent fat storage
- Increase metabolism
- Raise good cholesterol (HDL)
- Reduce kidney stones
- Prevent and improve PMS symptoms
In addition to all of the positive effects of Calcium already mentioned, it may be more effective than most common weight loss drugs that are sold on the market today.
In 2003, a study was published in the International Journal of Obesity & Related metabolic Disorders, demonstrated that a diet high in Calcium for a period of 16 weeks, produced better weight loss results than the average weight loss shown in one entire year of studies using weight loss drugs. That is incredible! We should all be celebrating the healing effects of Calcium!
