The lack of calcium in the body. Symptoms in women, men. Role norms, which is better absorbed, washing out how to make the shortage, to make up the deficit. Diet, vitamin complexes

For smooth operation body requires a sufficient amount of minerals, protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins. Among some of the most important minerals include calcium. His lack of in the body can lead to the manifestation of symptoms and the development of diseases in women, men, children.

The role of calcium

Calcium acts as a building material. Bones and teeth are made up of 99% of this mineral, even 1% is present in the blood and soft tissues.

Is he:

• actively participates in the activities of various hormones, enzymes;
• It helps the nerve cells;
• It accelerates blood clotting, tissue metabolism;
• endowed with anti-allergic action.

Due to the presence of increased levels of calcium assimilation of other substances by the body.

for calcium for women, men, children

The need for calcium varies depending on the person's age. Also influenced chronic diseases, environment, diet, lifestyle, overall health. Details of the average of the data according to age is as follows:

Daily norm of calcium, vitamin D3:

Category	Age	Norm mg	D₃, ug / day.
Children	up to six months	400	5
Up to 1 year	600
Up to 10 years	800
Teenagers	1500
Women	18-50 years	800-1000
Pregnancy and breastfeeding	1300-1500
men	To 65 years	800-1000
65 years	1300-1500	10
overall	70 years	15

The causes of calcium deficiency

Each day is derived from a human of about 700 mg of calcium naturally. If the item is no longer arrive in sufficient quantity, the flow begins stocks of bone mass, which can cause hypocalcemia.

Loss reinforce the following factors:

1. Products containing caffeine.
2. Bad habits: drinking, smoking.
3. Taking certain hormonal preparations.
4. High-protein diet.
5. Lack of vitamin D, as well as magnesium (Mg).
6. renal diseases (e.g., nephritis).
7. Cirrhosis of the liver.
   
8. Diarrhea.
9. Inadequate intake of calcium from food.
10. Action epileptic drugs.
11. Rickets and tetany rahitogennaya (spazmofiliya) in children.
12. Reduced synthesis of parathyroid hormone (controls the balance of calcium and phosphorus in the blood).
13. Osteoblastic metastases. They form growths on the bones, thus taking away all of the calcium.
14. Osteomalacia. The result is a lack of mineralization of the bones, causing them to soften.
15. Acute alkalosis.
16. Digestive system diseases: acute pancreatitis, sprue (prevents the absorption of food in the small intestine).

vulnerable groups, lack of calcium

Risk groups include:

• Professional athletes. With strong physical exertion energy process increases. Accordingly, the nutrients the body needs more than in the ordinary rhythm of life. the topic most relevant to bodybuilders.
• Pregnancy and lactation. The process entails formation of the fruit additional expense mineral.
• Vegetarians and people who adhere to rigid diets.
• Women with menstrual irregularities.
• Persons who have the diagnosis of "osteoporosis".

Symptoms of calcium in the body lack

Lack of calcium in the body, symptoms in women and men that accompanied the initial stages of fatigue, irritability, weakness, strong effect on the condition. There are strong headaches, insomnia. Deteriorating condition of the teeth, there is a high risk of tooth decay.

Other symptoms:

1. The nervous system and muscles: the emergence of a sense of numbness in the extremities (primarily - the fingers, as well as the corners of the mouth), hereinafter - cramps and pain in the bones. Spasms of the larynx can lead to a change in his voice. In the later stages - the development of osteoporosis, a tendency to deformation and fracture, is often seen in the elderly.
2. At the level of cardiovascular system is an abnormal heart rhythm.
3. Skin, hair and nails: excessive dryness and brittleness. Impaired immunity provides a good ground for the development of dermatological diseases (psoriasis, eczema) and allergic reactions.
4. Possible development of glaucoma, nosebleeds, loss of consciousness.

infancy

Calcium deficiency is diagnosed in infants in the first days of life. The reason may be a premature birth, diabetes in the mother.

The main symptoms in infants:

1. Nervousness or anxiety.
2. Poor appetite.
3. Slow breathing rhythm.
4. Tachycardia.
5. Excessive sweating during sleep or meals.
6. The child often frightened when noisy and sharp sounds.

To detect calcium deficiency in a baby, you can do simple actions:

• Fingertip tap on the cheek (near the corner of the mouth).
• Squeeze the hand of the child in the middle third of the shoulder.

If you are performing any action twitching or convulsions, the possible lack of calcium.

muscle cramps

Calcium plays an important role in motor activity of man: the process of changing its ions regulate contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscles. Its imbalance in the body can lead to seizures, loss of balance, motor coordination disorders.

Dry skin, brittle nails

Basic functions of calcium for the skin are:

1. It helps to restore the barrier function of the epidermis.
2. Maintaining water balance.
3. It helps produce collagen and elastane, which slow down the aging process.
4. Regulation of the tone of the capillaries.
5. He plays role of a "crosslinking agent" in the lipid layers of the skin and ensures a more dense structure.

Lack element leads to age-related skin changes, its dryness, firmness and elasticity decrease. Nails become brittle, begin to flake, there are stains and white stripes.

Symptoms of late puberty and PMS

Late puberty in girls can be a sign of a lack of calcium in the body. Another symptom - the occurrence of premenstrual syndrome, accompanied by cramps, spasms, irritability or capriciousness, excessive craving for food use, as well as a violation of the the menstrual cycle.

tooth Decay

When calcium deficiency softening enamel. As a result - the rapid darkening of the teeth and their increased sensitivity. The greatest danger of occurrence of caries is produced during demineralization of hard tissue tooth: under the action of organic acids is leaching of calcium and phosphorus comprising the enamel.

A tooth is comprised of 95% of said components and only 5% - water.

frequent fractures

Calcium - the main component of bone. Formation of bones in length the person ends up in the age of 15-20 years. Adequate micronutrient intake during this period will contribute to the formation of dense bone structure and its strengthening.

Bone has a self-renew feature over time. Despite the flexibility and bone strength, they are subject to microtraumas.

To eliminate them, there are two groups of cells in the body: one remove and destroy diseased tissue, while others - is filled with bone area, which later calcification. This action is called remodeling. As we age, the process of self-renewal of cells slows down, which increases the risk of fractures.

Insomnia

Frequent awakening may indicate a lack of calcium in the body. micronutrient levels increase during the deep sleep phase. Calcium helps the brain use the amino acid tryptophan, which promotes the synthesis of "happiness hormone" serotonin, and that, in turn, produces melatonin which is responsible for sleep and wakefulness.

Difficulty losing weight

Obesity leads to disruption in the body closely related processes.

Many internal systems fail:

• cause heart rhythm appear serious hormonal
• changes affected the digestive tract.

Starting considerable number of processes happening inside the cell via calcium. Due to its effect on the intracellular metabolism is accelerated metabolism, which promotes weight loss.

Problems with obesity, provoking mineral deficiency:

1. The fats ingested with food, bind calcium and prevent its entry into cells.
   
2. Gormonalnyesboi hindering the harmonious assimilation of trace element.
3. Calcium compounds are partially dissolved under the influence of gastric and intestinal juices. For a successful process requires the normal operation of the digestive tract, which in people who are overweight are often broken.

paresthesia

The disease is characterized by loss of sensitivity and almost always is secondary, that is formed on the background of other ailments. His main reason - the nerve damage that leads to the emergence of a lot of discomfort in a patient in the form of tingling, burning, crawling "chills" on the skin. Lack of calcium can serve as a starting point for the emergence and development of paresthesia.

complications

Lack of substance can cause a number of serious changes in the vital systems functions. Disturbances in the formation of the skeleton, teeth, neurological disorders, hyperexcitability - a small list of consequences.

Dangerous manifestation of micronutrient deficiency is the lack of blood clotting. The transition of calcium deficiency in the chronic stage increases the risk of heart disease, subcapsular cataract.

Osteoporosis

calcium metabolism is regulated 4th parathyroid glands, which are responsible for the activities of parathyroid hormone. When you receive information to them about the lack of substance is the inclusion of physiological responses support a constant internal environment.

At the command of the parathyroid calcium from bone into the blood stream is output to make up for the resulting shortage. With frequent deviations bone mineralization quality decreases correspondingly decreases and strength. So there is osteoporosis.

Lack of calcium in the body, symptoms in women and men that lead to the development of osteoporosis, often accompanied by a tedious pain in the bones and muscles.

In addition there are:

• The emergence of excessive stoop.
• Frequent fractures in the fall, even with a small height or low physical activity. Periodicheskiepovrezhdeniya joints, especially the smaller ones.
• Vnezapnoepoyavlenie gray.

The greatest risk of osteoporosis susceptible groups of individuals:

• Elderly people. As a rule, the period begins upon reaching 50 years of age.
• People with fragile physique and short stature.
• Pozdneenachalo menstruation or early termination), scanty or infrequent periods.
• Infertility.
• Prolonged lactation (over 6 months).
• Predisposition to fractures.
• Early menopause (before age 44).

cardiovascular disease

The spectrum of cardiovascular disease is wide:

• ischemia;
• arterial hypertension;
• atherosclerosis;
  
• thrombosis;
• myocarditis and other.

Calcium contributes to the proper operation of the muscle cells and the hormones that regulate the heartbeat. When contact occurs intracellularly microelement activation protein, thereby activating the heart muscle. Calcium plays an important role in the blood clotting process and maintaining the tone of blood vessels.

Low level element leads to a decrease in pressure, weakened cardiac activity, seizures. High - development of paralysis, arrhythmias, paresis.

High blood pressure

Calcium can be a good preventive measure in the fight against hypertension, mainly for elderly people suffering from hypersensitivity to salt.

People in this category use a large amount of sodium affects blood pressure. Calcium makes the blood vessel walls strong and flexible controls heart rate, lowers cholesterol.

Oncology

According to some of the study of calcium supplements may reduce the risk of receiving the emergence and development of colorectal cancer, ie malignancy in the colon. Its ions form insoluble compounds with bile and fatty acids in the gastro-intestinal tract.

Due to the destructive action of acids on the cell decreases. Calcium also helps to improve signal transmission in cells and can cause cancer cells to differentiate.

Diagnosis calcium shortage

To determine the calcium content in the body can, for passing blood biochemical analysis. It will identify and begin early treatment of serious pathologies, formed as a result of the imbalance of trace element.

Such research may be needed in the following cases:

1. To determine osteoporosis.
2. Hypotension muscles.
3. The presence of seizures.

   

4. Peptic ulcer disease.
5. If you suspect a polyuria.
6. Problems with the heart or blood vessels.
7. Posleoperatsionnyyperiod to restore.
8. The appearance of malignancies.
9. If the bones become brittle ipoyavilis pain.

Preparatory steps:

• Exclude any food techniques for 10-12 hours.
• During the day, remove from the diet of sugar, products containing dyes, lots of fat, and alcohol.
• On the day of delivery of the analysis to reduce the exercise to a minimum.

How to make up for the lack of calcium in the body?

The following products will help to normalize the balance of trace element:

• Naiboleeeffektivno calcium digested with phosphorus, vitamin B9, C, D. For example, many trace element B9 is present in various greens, vegetables, cereals, nuts, fruits.
• Plant foods, serving good calcium conductor.
• animal products: eggs, fish and meat.
• Fruits and vegetables.
• Milk products.

Actively promote the conclusion of calcium excessively salty foods, smoked, alcohol, strong tea and coffee.

Calcium Supplements

Women, men and children to make up calcium or eliminate symptoms of its deficiency acceptable use of dietary supplements. When choosing a drug it is important to pay attention to the presence in it of vitamin D3, because thanks to his presence of calcium in the body is absorbed better.

To those include:

• vitrum calcium-D3;
• calcium-D3-nikomed;
• D3-alpha Teva;
• komplivit calcium-D3.

injections

In some severe pathologies accompanied by a reduction of calcium levels in blood, it may need to intramuscular or intravenous administration. For this purpose use calcium gluconate. Children it is administered only intravenously.

Among the diseases with which it helps to cope include:

• bronchial asthma;
• cold;
• allergy;
• jade other.

What doctor cures calcium deficiency?

Lack of calcium in the body (symptoms in women and men in the majority of cases can be identified in the early stages) is diagnosed therapist after passing the relevant tests, and the children - pediatrician. The choice of physician is largely dependent on the level of involvement in the pathological state of other organs and systems.

Treatment of osteoporosis may appoint a podiatrist or osteopath. Often require treatment to a gastroenterologist to check the condition of the digestive system. Will be useful advice nutritionist who will help to make a correct, balanced diet. Science moves forward, and now some advanced clinics offer personalized diets for the genetic analysis.

Measures for the prevention of calcium deficiency

Lack of calcium in the body, symptoms in women and men which can be prevented, is filled with simple preventive measures.

They are:

• Full, healthy sleep.
  
• Occupation feasible kinds of physical activity and sport.
• Eating healthy food.
• Refusal of alcohol, smoking, as well as coffee.
• In the period of active growth, menopause, age of aging is required to address to the therapist for the purpose of calcium preparations to help prevent pathological conditions.

Calcium - a mineral health. Many vital processes are carried out with his participation, including the beating of the heart and blood circulation. Timely replacement of the calcium shortage in the body will help to support this process and to prevent the appearance of symptoms of various diseases in both women and men and children.
