What is the Calcium Blood Clinic?
A calcium test can ascertain whether your blood is deficient or excessively enriched in this critical element. It is frequently conducted as part of a routine check-up. Bones are composed primarily of it. In the bones and teeth, 99% of the body’s supply is stored, predominantly as a reservoir for the maintenance of serum levels.
Why Get the Profile Visit?
Your body requires it to maintain the health of its bones and teeth. It is also crucial for the effective functioning of the heart, muscles, and nerves. It can inform you of the effects of particular disease therapies on the body. It is also capable of monitoring their adverse effects.
Signs and symptoms
If the deficiency is severe, it may result in muscle spasms, cramping, tingling, or burning sensations in the mouth and digits, facial spasms and tics, seizures, and tremors. Osteopenia is the term used to describe the moderate loss of bone mass, while osteoporosis is used to describe the severe loss of bone mass.

A shared story: “not alone”
The fact is that 99% of it in your body is located in your bones, cells, and blood. It is essential for the development of your bones and dentition.
It is frequently disregarded, despite its critical role in numerous bodily functions. Bone and tooth health are particularly dependent on it; however, it is also involved in maintaining healthy levels of blood pressure, muscle contraction, and coagulation.
Bone cells are well-vascularized and exchange nutrients and debris with the external environment, despite their appearance as inert tissues. Most individuals who are at risk of developing osteoporosis are the elderly, women in menopause, or those who suffer from eating disorders, as it is a result of calcium deficiency and causes bone fragility.
The initial step is to guarantee that our consumption of dairy products is not excessively low or high. We can consume the appropriate quantity of dried fruits, anchovies, squid, octopus, tofu, and seafood.
Subsequently, there are measures that should be implemented to prevent the loss of our possessions.
1. Exercise caution regarding phosphorus.
Phosphorus is essential for the human body; however, its excessive levels impede intestinal absorption. Additionally, when it is present in the bloodstream as phosphoric acid, it reduces the pH, and the body utilizes it to neutralize its acidity, removing it from the bones if it is insufficient. Finally, diuresis is induced by phosphorus, resulting in an increase in urine excretion.
2. Exercise caution when handling salt.
Even an excess of sodium is detrimental to bones, as it competes with calcium for reabsorption at the renal level. It implies that the likelihood of the blood not being reintroduced to circulation and, as a result, being expelled is increased when it passes through the intricate filtration system of the kidneys.
3- Avoid excessive consumption of animal proteins.
When digested, excess proteins generate phosphate and sulfate ions, which activate buffer systems and acidify the environment, as indicated in point 1.
4. Exercise caution when consuming caffeine.
Each cup of coffee results in the excretion of approximately 6 milligrams of calcium. It is not a significant amount when we consider that our requirements range from 800 to 1500 mg; however, it can significantly improve an already deficient diet.
5. Exercise
Bone health is significantly improved by physical activity. It has the potential to enhance muscle strength and increase deposition.
It is imperative to prevent osteoporosis while it is still treatable, as it is irreversible. Please consult your physician if you believe you are at risk. He can assess your condition through straightforward blood tests and, if necessary, prescribe an appropriate treatment and order additional tests.
Vitamin D is essential for assimilation; in this season, individuals who lack a garden are increasingly reliant on food sources to obtain this nutrient. It is present in the yolk of eggs, liver, and salmon.
