function of calcium for our body
Why do some people have strong bones, and some fragile and soft? Why some of us can take the strongest punches, like boxer do, and others break their bones falling out from their own bed?
There is a simple answer to that – the amount of calcium in your body. All structure of your bones, its construction depends on this factor of amount of calcium - the smaller the amount, the bigger the chance for you to break your bones.
What does it depends on? It depends on many factors. For example, when you are getting older, especially women, the levels of calcium in your body begin to get smaller, this happens because of changes in hormones. However, sometimes it happens that even in a young body the level of calcium starts to drop catastrophically.
The most common reason for that is an incorrect eating habit. It could be that the person does not get enough of calcium rich products or he/she uses too many so called “calcium killers” like caffeine, salt and red meat. In this case, you have to reduce the amount of the “calcium killers” you consume.
Doctor Stephen Greenspoon with the associates from the central hospital of the state of Massachusetts made the conclusion that the women, who suffer neurogenic anorexia (neurogenic anorexia - persistent tendency toward thinness by the prolonged goal-directed limitation in the food), are more subjected to the bone fractures. The study was conducted on 130 women with this illness (average age - 24 years). All patients underwent thorough medical examination. Results were stunning. Thinning bone tissue was revealed in 92% of patients, as a result of which bones became brittle, rose the risk of breaks. The greatest changes were detected at the breast and lumbar divisions of spine bone (about 50%).
So, if you want to lose weight and you are constantly limiting yourself in food, then you are in the risk category in having problems with your health and first of all - increased brittleness of the bones. For this not to happen, please use the food, rich in calcium:
-Milk, yogurt, fat free cheese;
-Cabbage, broccoli, spinach, vegetables with dark green leaves;
-Shrimps, lobsters, sturgeon, sardine, oyster;
-Nuts, especially almonds and Brazilian nut;
In order not to become the walking - wreck just after you turn 35, it is necessary to adhere to the rules given above, as well as to keep fit and add calcium to your ration.

Healty skin
Drink a lot of water. Your body is composed mainly of water and it is a necessary component of all the natural processes that occur there.When you drink water it not only hydrates your insides but it hydrates your skin as well. Drinking enough water is also one of the best "diets" for weight loss. You should drink at least eight 8 oz. glasses per day.
Stay out of the sun. The ultraviolet rays of the sun are VERY damaging to your skin. Use sunscreen when you are out in it. Be careful of the reflected rays even if you are in the shade. A moisturizer or foundation containing sunscreen is highly recommended for everyday use. I mean EVERY day.
Get plenty of rest. Think that beauty sleep is just a myth? Think again. Proper rest is very important to your overall health and the health of your skin.
Eat Healthy Foods Simple foods are good for you in a lot of ways. They provide essential nutrients; vitamins, minerals and fiber, and are often lower in calories than processed foods. You know the kinds of foods I mean. Beans, rice, vegetables, yogurt, lean meats-there are many more. Cook with olive oil. Use onions, garlic and other high-mineral foods. Many herbs and spices, besides seasoning your supper, also contain beneficial substances. See my Natural Foods page for more information.
Do some type of exercise regularly. Exercise stimulates your entire system to rid itself of built-up toxins. You don't have to buy a treadmill or join a gym (unless you like that kind of thing). Gardening, playing golf, hiking in the woods, whatever you choose to do to get your blood moving is a step in the right direction. Try parking your car a few blocks away from work. There is no doubt that regular activity will begin to make you feel and look better. Once you are accustomed to the walk you may even begin to look forward to it!
You could take up a sport. Even playing frisbee can provide a good cardiovascular workout. It can also improve your strength and hand/eye coordination. Stretching exercises of all kinds are good for working and flexing your joints and muscles. You can do these anywhere; in the middle of your walk, in your living room or kitchen with a chair, even in bed. So get moving! Once you are hooked on activity you may even have to break out that treadmill for rainy days!
Reduce stress. Easier said than done right? Research has shown that stress is a contributing factor in many health problems. If you are not healthy your skin is not going to look healthy. Take some time out just for you. A luxurious bath is a great stress reliever (Perhaps with some nicely scented oil or salt!). So is relaxing with a good book, a cup of hot Earl Grey tea, watching the sun set, taking a walk, or just sitting and watching birds at a feeder outside your window. Most importantly you must be comfortable with yourself. You have to find happiness in what you are doing RIGHT NOW.

6 tips to healty for our body
1. Balance your food choices - don't eat too much of one thingYou don't have to give up foods like hamburgers, french fries, and ice cream to eat healthfully. You just have to be smart about how often and how much of them you eat. Your body needs nutrients like protein, carbohydrates, fat, and many different vitamins and minerals such as vitamins C and A, iron, and calcium from a variety of foods.
2. Get fit with friends or family Being active is much more fun with friends or family. Encourage others to join you and plan one special physical activity event, like a bike ride or hiking, with a group each week.
3. Eat more grains, fruits, and vegetables These foods give you carbohydrates for energy, plus vitamins, minerals, and fibre. Besides, they taste good! Try breads such as whole-wheat, bagels, and pita. Spaghetti and oatmeal are also in the grain group.
4. Join in physical activities at school Whether you take a physical education class or do other physical activities at school, such as intramural sports, structured activities are a sure way to feel good, look good and stay physically fit.
5. Foods aren't good or badA healthy eating style is like a puzzle with many parts. Each part, or food, is different. Some foods may have more fat, sugar or salt, while others may have more vitamins or fibre. There is a place for all these foods. What makes a diet good or bad is how foods fit together. Balancing your choices is important. Fit in a higher-fat food, like pepperoni pizza, at dinner by choosing lower-fat foods at other meals. And don't forget about moderation. If two pieces of pizza fill you up, don't eat a third.
6. Make healthy eating and physical activities fun!
Take advantage of physical activities you and your friends enjoy doing together and eat the foods you like. Be adventurous - try new sports, games, and other activities as well as new foods. You'll grow stronger, play longer, and look and feel better! Set realistic goals - don't try changing too much at once.
