Most middle-aged and elderly people regularly take calcium tablets to supplement the rapidly lost calcium, but Swiss researchers warn that eating calcium tablets will increase the risk of heart disease by nearly 1 fold, so it is best to take it quantitatively from the daily diet. On 24th, The New York Times quoted Heart magazine as saying that the University of Zurich (Züricher Universit? T) 24,000 Germans aged from 35 to 64 were taken as research objects, and their health, diet and habit of taking supplements were tracked by questionnaire during the period of 1 1. The results showed that compared with the control group, the probability of suffering from myocardial infarction, stroke or related diseases increased by 86%. In 2008, a similar study also pointed out that sudden intake of more than 500 mg of calcium supplements every day would increase the risk of heart disease by 30%. The more intake, the higher the risk, showing a situation of "one good but not two good".
The researchers pointed out that swallowing calcium tablets will cause a "flooding effect" of mineral concentration in the blood, which will increase the burden on the heart; On the other hand, if you take calcium from dairy products and leafy vegetables in a balanced and gradual way, so that the body has time to absorb and metabolize it, even the amount of 800 mg per day will not cause cardiovascular burden. According to the recommendation of the British Food Standards Agency, the daily limit of calcium intake for adults from food is 700 mg, while the regulation of Swiss health units is 1 100 mg. If it is not necessary, try not to take calcium tablets without authorization, so as not to achieve the effect of "strengthening bones", but to harm the cardiovascular system first.
