Are you low on calcium? 6 secret signs and what to do
Brittle nails and dull hair aren't just an aesthetic issue; they're your body's warning sign of a calcium deficiency. Almonds, chia seeds, and sesame seeds are great sources of nutrition. Sprinkle them on yogurt or oatmeal, or eat them raw, and you'll see your nails and hair quickly return to their former glory.
Are you feeling irritable or distracted? Your nervous system may be signaling a calcium deficiency. Yogurt or cheese can help calm this storm. A spoonful of morning glory or a cheese sandwich can keep your mood more balanced and your focus sharper.
A tingling sensation, especially in your hands or feet, could be a sign that calcium deficiency is affecting your nerves. Calcium-fortified plant-based milks (like almond, soy, or oat) are an easy way to help. Using calcium-fortified milk instead of regular milk in your coffee or cereal will help your nerves function properly.
Are your teeth feeling brittle? Calcium strengthens enamel, and tofu or tempeh made with calcium salts can also be beneficial. Add them to salads or sautés; they'll strengthen your teeth and provide extra protein without making you feel like you're on a healthy diet.
If your joints or bones start to ache for no apparent reason, your body may be borrowing calcium from its stores.
Small fish with bones, such as sardines or canned salmon, deliver calcium directly to your bones. Add them to salads, pasta, or sandwiches, and your bones will quietly thank you.
