Coral Calcium And Optimum Health

If you want optimum health, but you understand that you can't easily get it purely from the foods you eat, one very beneficial supplement is Coral Calcium.

You probably know that calcium is an essential mineral for all of us, especially for the strength of our bones. But did you know that it plays many vital roles in the body? Chief among them are: allowing the body to heal properly from wounds, promoting the healthy functioning of the heart, helping nutrients disperse across cell membranes, lowering blood pressure, and keeping bones and teeth strong. It is also extremely important in preventing osteoporosis which can go undetected for years, until one day a slip or fall could cause already weakened bones to easily fracture.

One reason I'm enthusiastic about coral calcium is because it's a highly absorbable form of calcium, proven by studies to be significantly better than milk or daily sources (and without the high amounts of undesirable saturated fats).

But what do I mean by coral calcium? Corals are tiny marine animals. Stony corals (which are one form of coral) living together as a group are generally known as coral reefs. Salts of calcium that are obtained from fossilized coral reefs are known as coral calcium. Coral calcium is acquired by grinding up limestone, which is found above the ground and was once part of the coral reef. Living coral reefs cannot be harvested because they are endangered. As well, coral calcium taken from deep sea deposits is likely to be quite polluted and its harvesting can have a negative environmental effect.

Calcium carbonate, small amounts of magnesium, and other trace minerals together constitute the Coral calcium.

The United States Surgeon General recommends women, children and men to consume an adequate amount of Calcium and Vitamin D to help build strong bones. Calcium can also help support proper muscle contractions and nerve functions. It is stated that 90% of all women and 60% of men in the U.S. do not get enough calcium in there diets.

So, coral calcium can play a huge part in correcting this deficiency, partly because it also contains magnesium and 70 other trace minerals that are needed in our daily diets.

It certainly seems to be a significant factor in the diets and thus the longevity of the native Okinawans (where most coral calcium is harvested), who have coral calcium as a regular part of their diet.

Okinawa has 10 times the number of centenarians as the U.S. Okinawans have far less incidence of coronary heart disease, strokes, and certain types of cancer than North Americans. They are often found in excellent health, and in full possession of their mental faculties into their 80's and 90's.

Of course there are other factors that help them keep their health to an old age, but their intake of coral calcium is a contributing factor.

Coral calcium can of course be taken in various forms, and I've found that the sachets that Coralcal Daily uses are an efficient, pleasant way to take it. In this form it purifies, alkalizes, and mineralizes your beverage without changing the color or taste. Simply drop a "tea bag" into your favorite non-carbonated beverage,

The sachets transform ordinary water or non-alkaline beverages into a calcium-charged powerhouse of delicious tasting, highly absorbent, and alkalized liquid to hydrate your body.

Besides the normal benefits of coral calcium, Coralcal Daily has some other benefits:

• Purified, mineralized beverages taste crisp and clean
• It neutralizes chlorine in drinking and cooking water
• It improves taste and quality of water and other beverages
• It replenishes essential minerals absent in filtered and bottled water.

So, I may not become as healthy as an Okinawan resident tomorrow, but I do think that with regular use of coral calcium I'll make giant strides in that direction.
