Calcium is the only mineral to have their own regulatory gland, parathyroid glands (these glands in the thyroid gland, but do not have anything to do with the thyroid gland)! That is why they are called parathyroid glands is because of their proximity to the thyroid gland. (Item means near, close or next.) Calcium main functions are:
1. To provide electrical power for your nervous system. What it does is to provide means for electrical impulses to travel along nerves. Calcium is the fact that your nervous system uses for the “electricity”, so the most common symptoms of deficiency of the nervous system of them, such as depression, weakness, fatigue – as a power failure.
2. To ensure the electrical energy needed muscle, which actually just returns us to the nervous system, since it controls the nerves that conduct electricity to the muscles. In order to enable them to function properly, they must contract and relax.
Just as the heartbeat. Your heart just a big ole muscle. It contracts and relaxes as it fills and cleanses the blood. Calcium is what makes him a contract to pump blood through your body. Therefore, deficiencies in calcium can lead to heart and other muscle problems.
They can not enter into contracts without proper calcium. Symptoms may include weakness, muscle spasms or cramps, PMS symptoms, stress, etc.
3. To ensure durability for the bone system. Most people know that calcium is needed to build strong bones and teeth. Nevertheless, the bones that serve as the repository, as in a bank where you store on its reserves. If you have enough calcium, your body can use those reserves in case of need. Every time your body needs calcium to your parathyroid glands to the conclusion that compensate for the lack of excesses or deposit back to the repository. Pretty neat, huh?
It is not only for prevention of osteoporosis and kidney stones, but it is vital for life and the prevention of tension, anxiety or stress and many other features.
Calcium, the most common mineral in the body, is required for:
• muscle contraction,
• Blood expansion tank and compression
• secretion of hormones and enzymes, as well as
• transmission of impulses across the nervous system.
