Calcium is There a Connection To Weight Loss?

This is something that I had never considered before it's amazing what you can learn by reading articles, in the late 1980's a doctor discovered that there was a connection between calcium and weight loss, the main focus of the study was based around blood pressure not particularly how calcium affected weight loss.

The participants in the study were initially consuming were initially consuming 400 mg of calcium per day, which was then increased to 1000 mg per day over all the participants lost over 10 pounds in weight, which to the doctors was quite baffling to say the least.

Over the passage of time and since that last study was produced, research has found that calcium helps to burn fat and also it is been noted that, it prevents fat cells from generating also.

Good sources of calcium are:

• Milk
• Yogurt
• Cheese
• Fish salmon, sardines
• Nuts brazil, almonds,
• Vegetables, leafy green, Broccoli, spinach, bok choy, spinach
