Another famous chemist Mendeleyev noted the important role of such an element as Ca. Working on his table, he wrote that it was "one of the elements necessary for the normal course of life processes." Indeed, calcium maintains a heart rhythm, participates in iron metabolism, the process of blood clotting, promotes normal functioning of the nervous system, V endocrine ... And it plays an important role in the formation of bones and teeth rudiments in a baby in your tummy. Is not this element worthy of special attention?
What happens in the body?
When a crumb needs calcium, it takes it from my mother's store. And regardless of whether there is enough of this element or not (in addition to the state of teeth and nails, its lack of talk cramps, insomnia, nervousness). And that your baby is enough and your health is not affected, during pregnancy advise not to forget about fermented milk products - in them the calcium content is the highest, and it is better absorbed. Naturally, if the cottage cheese or yogurt you do not begin to wash down coffee or soda (they interfere with the absorption of calcium!). But there are other nuances.
Competent receipt and replenishment
In order not to resort to chemist's products with calcium, nutritionists recommend correctly organize the reception of the natural element, which we get with food. Daily calcium intake during pregnancy is 1200 mg daily! How to achieve it? Experts advise to go the simple way - to break the reception of dairy products into four doses during the day. To do this, you need to make a right menu. For example, for breakfast, eat 100 grams of cottage cheese (note: it is better absorbed in the morning!), At 11 o'clock - a slice of hard cheese, for a snack - a glass of yogurt or kefir, and at night drink a cup of milk. Of course, soups, side dishes, meat and fish should also be on your table, as, indeed, other dishes, food. By the way, they also contain calcium! True, in less quantity ... Almonds, hazelnuts, dates, dried apricots, persimmons, oranges - what could be better for a snack and ... it is more useful for replenishing the deficit element ?! Can not force myself four times a day to eat milk products? It's a pity, because they cook so many "yummies" (milkshake, cocktail, curd sauce or pasta with greens)! Try it! We also offer a recipe from our grandmothers, who drew calcium from ... egg shells. Take a homemade egg, release it from protein and yolk, remove the inner film. Remove the shell and grind it on a coffee grinder. Take the powder for 1/2 teaspoon per day, pre-sprinkled with lemon juice. This "medicine" replaces several tricks of fermented milk products, but ... does not exclude them!
Plus vitamin D
Little is known about the fact that calcium is well absorbed in the commonwealth with vitamin D. Have you been told this secret? Take advantage of the knowledge! Vitamin D is rich in seafood (merulosa, pangasius, salmon), eggs, butter, red caviar - include them in your menu! But only food is not enough. The main part of vitamin D is produced in the skin of a person under the influence of sunlight. So in autumn and winter try to walk a lot and catch every ray. Then all the processes in the body will be normal.
