How to supplement calcium for 40-year-old women

After a woman reaches the age of 40, her body functions will gradually deteriorate, and she will always feel inexplicably depressed and irritable. These are all normal physiological phenomena. In addition, there will be many abnormal phenomena, and osteoporosis is also very obvious, which means that the body is already very calcium deficient. Women should pay attention to calcium supplementation after middle age, and should choose scientific methods of calcium supplementation.

1. Take calcium supplements early

When women reach around 40 years old, they will lose calcium quickly, while their calcium intake decreases, so they should start taking calcium supplements from this time, which can also prevent osteoporosis.

2. Dietary calcium supplementation

In your daily diet, you should choose to eat more foods rich in calcium, get and absorb enough calcium from them, and stick to it for a long time.

3. Timing of calcium supplementation

If you want to supplement calcium by drinking milk, it is recommended to consume it before going to bed every night, because the calcium in milk is best absorbed within 3 to 5 hours after a meal, and almost all the calcium lost through urination at night comes from bone calcium, so it is necessary to replenish it in time. In addition, drinking a glass of milk before going to bed helps sleep and improves insomnia and other sleep problems. Another thing to note is that you should not take calcium supplements on an empty stomach, as calcium absorption is poor at this time. It is better to take it after a meal. If the intake of animal protein and sodium is too high, excessive calcium loss will occur. Therefore, you need to pay attention to these issues during calcium supplementation and find the appropriate method and timing.

4. Choose calcium gluconate

The most traditional calcium supplement is calcium gluconate, but the calcium content of calcium gluconate is too low, so it is rarely used. Now there are two most commonly used products, one is calcium carbonate and the other is calcium glucuronate. This calcium supplement has a high calcium content and is easily absorbed by the human body. It does not contain any preservatives and can be taken even by patients with diabetes and hypertension. The most ideal thing is that the selected calcium supplement also contains vitamin D, which is most suitable for middle-aged and elderly women.

We should learn more about the methods of calcium supplementation for women in their 40s, and we need to supplement calcium as early as possible. Osteoporosis is very easy to occur at this age, and lumbar diseases caused by calcium deficiency are also very common. I hope everyone can prevent it as early as possible.
