While calcium helps build strong bones and teeth, it also has been shown to reduce the chances of breast and colon cancer and lower blood pressure. Calcium also helps your muscles to contract, blood to clot, and heart to beat. Lack of calcium prevents proper functioning of your heart, causes your bones to get weaker, and can interfere with nerve impulses, which can cause muscle spasms.
People ages 9-18 are recommended to consume about 1,300 milligrams of calcium per day.
