Calcium
The old phrase we used to hear as kids “Drink all your milk!” came from a nurturing voice that just wanted to assure us a healthy development. Calcium is crucial for strong bones and a healthy heart. The thing is, in order for calcium to be properly absorbed, it needs the right amount of Vitamin D to keep it company.
If not, there is a risk for the extra calcium to settle in our arteries instead of the bones. Studies suggest that calcium supplements may increase the chance of plaque buildup in the aorta and other arteries. So, instead of that, we recommend you to take your calcium from dairy products and leafy greens.
