There are many benefits to taking calcium daily.

1.  Antiaging

  Calcium has antioxidant nutrients that help delay the normal oxidation (breakdown)of cells that occurs inside the body, which will often accelerate the aging process.

2.  Strong Bones

Preventing osteoporosis.  Excess calcium in your body is stored in the your bones.

3.  Anticancer Properties

The anticancer properties of calcium have been building excitement in research circles since the late 1980s.  Gastroenterologists have been known to recommend their patients who have colon polyps or other increased risk factors for colon cancer to take in more calcium.  Calcium appears to reduce the development of substances in the colon that can lead to the formation of polyps or other cancerous growths.  Dietitians recommend 1,000 – 1200 mg a day of calcium.

4.  Cramps

5.  Insomnia

Taking a calcium and magnesium supplement (400 mg each) about 45 minutes before heading to bed for the night is an effective sleep inducer.  Check with your doctor about magnesium if you have heart problems.
