Food company addresses daily calcium requirements for health and disease prevention
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Connecticut-based food company Adora talks about the vital role calcium plays in the daily diet, and proposes several of its own calcium products to consumers who may be at risk due to calcium deficiency.
As the New Year approaches, everyone is beginning to plan their traditional resolutions to manage weight and increase health.
However, it seems that New Year's resolutions are quickly forgotten and broken, generally before the month of January is even over.
This year, consumers will be pleased to know that there is an easy way to resolve health goals.
By simply adding sufficient amounts of calcium to one's diet, weight management and a healthier body can be obtained.
A resolution to fit every lifestyle and lifestage -- meeting daily calcium needs!
A majority of individuals are not receiving adequate amounts of calcium, but it is evident that calcium is necessary for all ages.
Even in the womb, calcium is a mineral that plays a significant role in almost all of our body functions, including the development, health and strength of teeth and bones.
While the body, regardless of age, needs calcium, there are particular stages in life, especially for women, when calcium requirements increase.
Daily dosages of 800 mg of calcium are necessary for healthy bone development in young children.
Calcium dosage increases for pre-teens and teenagers from 9 to 18 years of age, with the recommended amount rising to 1,300 mg. Adults aged 19 to 50 years should incorporate 1,000 mg of calcium into the daily diet and for adults over the age of 50, intakes should increase to 1,200 mg a day.
The method most people associate with increasing calcium is drinking milk.
Unfortunately, very few people want the calories that accompany the three 8 oz glasses of milk necessary to ensure sufficient intake of calcium.
Recognizing the growing trend in fortified foods, Thompson took their substantial knowledge of chocolate and fused it with daily essential minerals and vitamins to deliver a decadent, yet health-beneficial delight.
