Description
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and it’s not just there for making healthy bones. Calcium is needed to move muscles, send nerve signals and release hormones. While dairy gets a lot of the attention for being a good source of calcium, there are plenty of other foods that help meet your needs too. In this podcast, I look at the roles of calcium, the consequences of not getting enough and tackle the controversial area of if calcium supplements are to be recommended or not.Links referred to in the podcastDairy and bone health review 2018 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29560832Dairy and bone health review 2019 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30657847 Calcium supplements: the good, the bad and the ugly https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30568435Episode transcriptTo access the full episode transcript, go to the following link and select the individual podcast episode and then click on the ‘Transcript’ tab https://thinkingnutrition.buzzsprout.comConnect with meInstagram: doctimcroweFacebook: Thinking NutritionTwitter: CroweTim
