Health and Wellness - weight loss tips

One hidden element that can help you lose weight, be stronger and healthier is Calcium, which is easy to consume.

Calcium has been proven to help you lose weight, and in particular belly fat. Who would have thought that? Studies have shown that women who consumed 1,200 – 1,400 mg of calcium daily had shed over 60% more body fat than those on a low calcium diet. Even more exciting is that the study at Purdue University found that the women on a high calcium diet also lost belly fat twice as fast as those on a low calcium menu. Another study found that two 8 0z servings of yogurt a day lowered blood pressure by 5 points and cut hypertension risk by 20%.

So the question is….how do you get enough calcium in your diet?

You could just start taking calcium supplements, but as with all diet advice, but its is better to eat a normal healthy diet. There are so many tasty foods that are rich in calcium to choose from so it shouldn’t be difficult.

Here’s a recommendation: 1. Take a Calcium with vitamin D supplement daily in split doses; 600 mg in the morning with breakfast, and 600 mg in the evening with dinner.

2. Add 2 servings of dairy products to your diet each day such as:-
* Milk
* Cheese
* Yogurt
* Kefir

But if you are lactose intolerant, then then are dairy products low in lactose that may be tolerated such as Greek style yogurt or Kefir and hard cheeses.

In addition there are many non-dairy foods which are rich in calcium such as:-
* Almonds
* Spinach
* Salmon
* Sardines
* Calcium fortified orange juice
* Kale
* Collard greens
* Tofu
* Enriched rice or soy milk
