So calcium is one of the most common minerals in the body, and it is used in our nervous system, our muscles, and our teeth, and in our bones.
00:11
So with our bones, it provides us with bone density.
00:15
So the more calcium we have, the more bone density we have, and this means that our bones will be stronger.
00:22
So one thing is if we do not consume enough calcium in our diets, a hormone called parathyroid hormone will be released.
00:30
And when this hormone is released, it signals that there is low calcium levels in our blood.
00:36
So it's going to start chewing away at our bones to take the calcium from our bones to release it into our bloodstream to fix that imbalance.
00:44
So that's why it's very important that we do consume a lot of calcium in our diets because if not, then our bones will keep being broken apart to provide high calcium levels in our blood...
