Calcium plays a major role in a woman's health. New study shows that adequate intake of calcium may help prevent the spread of breast cancer to the bones.
It's a well-known fact that consuming a calcium-rich diet contributes to better bone health. Eating a diet deficient in calcium, on the other hand, leaves bones weaker and more vulnerable not only to fractures, but to penetration by wayward cancer cells.
A calcium-rich diet can also reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer.
Packing plenty of calcium into your daily diet does more than just build stronger bones and ward off cancer; it also helps you hang on to your teeth as you age, and more.
As it turns out, a calcium-rich diet can help women maintain a stable weight after menopause. Previous research supports the notion that high-calcium diets can help promote weight loss and facilitate weight maintenance. There you go, women who want to maintain that weight may want to keep up with your calcium intake.
