The main symptoms of a lack of calcium in the body and what diseases it can cause
As already mentioned above - it's brittle bones and caries. But this is not all. Also, to signals that alert us that the body lacks this element, it becomes chronic fatigue, weakness and aches in the joints, as at subfebrile temperature. A person suffering from hypocalcemia becomes irritable, more likely to depressive states, immunity is weakened, which leads to frequent colds and viral diseases.
Because of a lack of calcium, in addition to bones, the muscular and nervous system suffers. In a person with this syndrome, convulsions appear, fingers and toes become numb. People after the age of thirty can start osteoporosis (deformity, increased risks to fractures and poor bone formation).
A sharp deterioration in vision may also indicate that your body lacks this trace element. If you ignore this symptom, cataracts may start. Lack of calcium in children can cause serious violations in the eye lens, which will lead to rapid loss of vision.
Another symptom is abnormal cardiorhythm, failure of which leads to heart failure or to myocardial infarction.
Treatment and prevention of hypocalcemia
Naturally, any deficit is eliminated by supplying something and hypocalcemia is not an exception. But there is one point, without taking into account which, your entire calcium intake will not yield any positive results. The fact is that calcium is absorbed in our body with vitamin D. This is the satellite that helps to carry this micronutrient to bone tissue and other organs. In the pharmacy, when choosing a drug for the treatment of hypocalcemia, be sure to specify that the composition included vitamin D.
In addition, do not forget about your diet. Your menu should be rich in dairy products, especially hard cheeses. Many calcium contain chicken and quail eggs. It will be especially useful to crush their shells to a powdery state and take it every morning on an empty stomach for one month.
Also in the list of products that are excellent against the lack of calcium include various cereals (especially oatmeal), broccoli, fish of the salmon family, as well as sardines. If you want, you can make a very diverse menu of these products. So in this way you will kill two birds with one stone: pamper yourself with delicious and help your body.
As you can see, the symptoms indicating that you do not have enough calcium, are specific enough, so with the first signals, immediately consult a doctor, and then run to the pharmacy and make adjustments to your diet. Good luck and do not be ill!
