#23 Considering Calcium - Bone Health & Much More...
We know that we need calcium for our bones but it is also really important in other processes like muscle function, nerve transmission and even blood clotting. Listen in to this episode to find out more about this mineral, which is the fifth most abundant element in the Earth's Crust and the MOST abundant mineral in our bodies. You can also find out how much you need and how to get enough from not only dairy, but plants too if you are lactose intolerant.
The store cupboard staple is sesame seeds, a source of calcium that is a nutrient powerhouse for the size of them!
