Guest guest Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 In addition to slowing the bone loss associated with osteoporosis, calcium is also necessary for clotting blood, regulating the heartbeat, transmitting nerve impulses and making muscles contract. It has also been linked to lowering blood pressure, lowering blood cholesterol and easing the symptoms of PMS. The best food sources for calcium include all dairy products, broccoli, tofu, sesame seeds, or turnip greens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
