Whenever a nerve meets a muscle and the "spark" fires to contract that muscle, a calcium ion is involved. So that is every muscle, every blink of an eye, every breath, digestion, as well as the big muscles that you use in your exercise.
So if you don't get your daily requirement of calcium, it has to come from somewhere.....
Can you guess? It comes from your bones. Your bones are the reservoir of calcium.
There is calcium in dairy foods, we need about four serves a day, and much less in sesame seeds and some fish bones. If you have issues with dairy you need to have a chat with your dietitian or pharmacist or doctor, because that calcium requirement is every single day. without fail or it comes from your bones.
Exercise, resistance exercise stimulates the uptake of calcium into the bones. Check out Osteoporosis Qld web site. http://www.osteoporosis.org.au.... Here is the link - osteoporosis link
