Are You Getting Enough Calcium?

As many of us know, calcium is very important to all of us, but there are many things that us, adults, or our children suffer from that we may not have realized are actually linked to calcium deficiencies.  It is important that everyone has plenty of the right kind of calcium in their diet.  Usable calcium in the human body is calcium bicarbonate.  It is known as a blood buffer or natural antidote to too much acid.  Children, and adults too, are loaded up with phosphoric acid since it is in soft drinks, wheat products, processed foods, and breakfast cereals.  When too much acid builds up in the body without adequate calcium bicarbonate to buffer it, certain things will happen.  Children frequently become fidgety, nervous, and possibly hyperactive.  They will be easily upset, throw temper tantrums, and get frequent colds.  And the same goes for adults!  In addition, growing pains in children and osteoporosis in adults are a definite indicator of a calcium imbalance, which can hinder bone-building capacity.
