Calcium is an essential mineral not only for bone health, but in muscle contractions all over the body. From the age of 25, the rate of our bone formation becomes less than the rate of bone breakdown, meaning from then on we must maintain adequate levels so this process has the least possible impact on […]
via Calcium & dairy free diets —
This is an interesting article on some dairy-free sources of calcium and it also discusses the interactions of calcium and vitamin D and how they work together. While there is no need to remove dairy from your diet if you can digest it, plant-based sources of calcium are plentiful and can help you obtain a good amount. Sardines with bones are another great source of calcium.

Calcium and dairy free diets – some healthy choices
Greetings to you,
An article from the science news website known as Eureka Alert shares the results of a study on how calcium extends lifespans in women.
Here is the news article:
Calcium supplements linked to longer lifespans in women – Study finds calcium-rich diet, supplements provide equal benefits
Chevy Chase, Maryland—Taking a calcium supplement of up to 1,000 mg per day can help women live longer, according to a recent study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM).
Calcium, an essential nutrient for bone health, is commonly found in dairy products as well as vitamins. Although calcium is an essential nutrient for bone health, past studies have linked calcium supplements to heart disease risk. Researchers analyzing data from the large-scale Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study (CaMos) sought to clarify this issue and found moderate doses of calcium supplements had a beneficial effect in women.
“Our study found daily use of calcium supplements was associated with a lower risk of death among women,” said the study’s lead author, David Goltzman, MD, of McGill University in Montreal, Canada. “The benefit was seen for women who took doses of up to 1,000 mg per day, regardless of whether the supplement contained vitamin D.”
The study monitored the health of 9,033 Canadians between 1995 and 2007. During that period, 1,160 participants died. Although the data showed women who took calcium supplements had a lower mortality (death) risk, there was no statistical benefit for men. The study found no conclusive evidence that vitamin D had an impact on mortality.
“Higher amounts of calcium were potentially linked to longer lifespans in women, regardless of the source of the calcium,” Goltzman said. “That is, the same benefits were seen when the calcium came from dairy foods, non-dairy foods or supplements.”
