Top Foods for Calcium and Vitamin D

To keep bones strong, your body is constantly breaking down old bone cells and
growing new ones, the same way it sheds and replaces skin cells. To fuel bone growth,
keep bone density strong, and prevent osteoporosis, you need a good supply of calcium
from dairy products and other foods.
But you also need enough vitamin D. Without it, you could drink milk all day and the
calcium in it wouldn't do you much good. Vitamin D is key in absorbing calcium from
the food you eat -- calcium that would otherwise get sent out of the body as waste.
Along with weight-bearing exercise, calcium and vitamin D go together for good bone
density -- and good health in general. Here's some advice on how to get more calcium
and vitamin D in your diet.
Boost Your Diet
Your body doesn't make calcium on its own. The best way to get more calcium is to
improve your diet. You already know that dairy products -- such as milk, cheese, and
yogurt -- are good sources of calcium for those who don't have lactose or other dairy
intolerance. Other foods that are high in calcium include:
Spinach
Kale
Okra
Collards
Soy beans
White beans
Some fish, like sardines, salmon, perch, and rainbow trout
Foods that are calcium fortified, such as some orange juice, oatmeal, and
breakfast cereal
It's a lot harder to get enough vitamin D from foods. Vitamin D is only in a few foods
and often in very small amounts. Foods that provide vitamin D include:
Fatty fish, like tuna, mackerel, and salmon
Foods fortified with vitamin D, like some dairy products, orange juice, soy milk,
and cereals Beef liver

Cheese
Egg yolks
Getting enough vitamin D from your diet isn't easy. Studies show that typically only
about 20% of our vitamin D comes from the foods we eat.
Your body can make vitamin D on its own. When you walk out into the sunlight with
exposed skin, your body naturally produces vitamin D.
How to Get Enough
How much calcium and vitamin D do you need? The Institute of Medicine (IOM) has
released the following guidelines:
Calcium
Young children 1-3 years old should get 700 milligrams (mg) per day.
Children 4-8 years old should get 1,000 mg per day.
Children 9-18 years old should get 1,300 mg of calcium a day.
Women younger than 51 and men up to age 70 should get 1,000 mg per day.
Women 51 to 70 should get 1,200 mg/day.
Women and men 71 and over should get 1,200 mg per day.
How does this translate into your daily diet? A 45-year-old could easily get her
recommended daily 1,000 mg of calcium by eating:
1 packet of fortified oatmeal (100 mg) 1 cup of skim milk (305 mg)
8 ounces of non-fat yogurt (452 mg)
cup of spinach (146 mg)

Vitamin D
IOM recommendations for Vitamin D are:
-
7/28/2019 Notas Sobre Top Foods for Calcium and Vitamin D
3/12
600 international units (IU) per day for children from age 1 to adults through age
70
800 IU per day for people 71 and older.
To get vitamin D from food, fish is the best option. Six ounces of cooked salmon has
more than 600 IU. Other foods containing vitamin D include eggs, liver, fortified dairyproducts, and fortified juice.
Your doctor may recommend higher levels of calcium and vitamin D, especially if you
are at risk for osteoporosis. The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends that
adults under age 50 get 400 to 800 IU of vitamin D every day, and that adults age 50
and older get 800 to 1,000 IU of vitamin D every day.
Should You Supplement?
Experts say ideally you should get the nutrients you need from whole foods and a well-
balanced diet rather than from supplements. That way, you're getting the full benefits of
the food instead of a single, isolated component.
In practice, it's not always so simple. Calcium and vitamin D supplements can be
important for some people. As you get older, it's harder for your body to make new
bone as quickly as it's destroyed. If you're a woman, that's especially true after
menopause. Getting older also makes it more difficult to absorb calcium and synthesize
vitamin D.
Talk to your doctor if you are interested in taking a calcium or vitamin D supplement.
Together, you can figure out if it's necessary. Consider these questions:
How much calcium is in your diet? Your doctor might want you to work out
how much calcium you're getting from foods. You can do this by keeping a food
journal for a few days.
Could you be vitamin D deficient? Because most of your vitamin D doesnt
come from diet, a food diary won't help determine your vitamin D levels. If your
doctor suspects a deficiency, he or she may order a blood test.
Should you get more time in the sun? Could sunscreen and wide-brimmed
hats explain why some people are deficient in vitamin D? Many experts think
so. As we've become more concerned about the risk of skin cancer, we're getting
less sun exposure -- and producing less vitamin D as a result. Talk with yourdoctor about sun exposure and skin cancer risk.
Are you at risk of getting too much calcium or vitamin D? Very high intake
of calcium -- 2,500 mg or more if you're between the ages of 19 and 50 and
2,000 mg or more if you're 51 or older -- may increase the risk of kidney
problems and block the absorption of minerals. There's less agreement about
how high you can go with vitamin D.
What sorts of supplements are available? There are different types of calcium
supplements and vitamin D supplements available -- such as calcium citrate and
calcium carbonate and vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol).
Current evidence suggests that there's not a big difference between them,
although some research has found that vitamin D3 might be more effective thanD2. Calcium carbonate can be more difficult to absorb on an empty stomach or if

you have low levels of stomach acid compared to calcium citrate, so it should be
taken with food. Also, since vitamin D is fat soluble, it is best absorbed with a
meal that contains fat. Again, your doctor can advise you on the right
supplements for you.
Could you have a hidden calcium or vitamin D deficiency? Even people who
seem like they should be getting enough calcium and vitamin D sometimesaren't. For instance, some medicines and health conditions can block the normal
absorption of calcium or vitamin D. Talk to your doctor about any potential
problems that might put you at risk for low levels of calcium or vitamin D.
Beyond Bone Density
Calcium and vitamin D aren't only important for bone health. Calcium helps keep your
heart rhythms normal and maintains muscle function. It also is involved with blood flow
and the release of hormones in your body.
Many experts believe that vitamin D deficiency is becoming more common and that it
has potentially serious health risks. Besides bone problems, low levels of vitamin D are
connected with muscle weakness and immune function. Some studies have shown that a
low level of vitamin D is associated with a higher risk of diseases like colon cancer,
breast cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Calcium is one of the minerals that you need to be healthy. Calcium is very important to
ensure strong, healthy bones and teeth. It also helps muscles and nerves to work
properly. Vitamin D helps you to absorb and use calcium. Both calcium and vitamin D
may have other health benefits, but more research is needed.

doctor.
What foods contain calcium?
Breastfeeding is the best way to meet your baby's calcium needs. Infant formula
provides calcium for babies who can not be breastfed.
Milk, yogurt and cheese are very high in calcium. Other good sources include calcium
enriched orange juice, rice beverages, and soy beverages. For more information, see
Food Sources of Calcium below.
What foods contain vitamin D?
There are only a few food sources of vitamin D. Good sources of vitamin D are fortified
foods and beverages such as milk, soy drinks, orange juice and margarine. Check the
labels on these foods. Fish, liver, and egg yolk are the only foods that naturally contain
vitamin D.

You may find it difficult to get enough vitamin D from foods, so you may want to
consider taking a vitamin D supplement. Most multiple vitamin supplements contain
vitamin D. Breastfed babies under 1 year of age need 400 IU of vitamin D from a
supplement each day. People over 50 years of age need extra vitamin D, and they
should take a supplement with 400 IU each day.

Agaricus Bisporus: Alternative To Chemicals InChicken Farms
AgaricusHealth problemsMushroomsPositive effectsvitality 09 May 2013
Written by: Bridget Greenwood
Can Agaricus bisporus medicinal mushrooms replace antibiotics in chicken farms?
An interesting European report in the journal Poultry Science has raised hopes
that medicinal mushrooms could help clean up the food chain.
As consumers become more aware about chemicals in the food chain, demand for
natural, non-medicated chicken has increased. Many people, like the actor Gwyneth
Paltrow, now prefer purchasing organic food. Currently, non-organic farms use
synthetic antioxidants for their chickens.
Antioxidants are needed to improve the health of the chickens, and also their meat
quality. Without antioxidants, lipid peroxidation in the meat affects colour, flavor,
texture and even nutritional value. So farmers add synthetic antioxidants such as
butylated hydroxytoluene to the chicken feed.
Researchers (I Giannenas, IS Pappas, et al) from the Laboratory of Animal Nutrition
and Husbandry at the University of Thessaly, Greece, wanted to investigate the health
benefits of medicinal mushrooms, like agaricus bisporus. Medicinal mushrooms such as
Agaricus bisporus contain compounds with antioxidant, antibacterial, immune-
enhancing and stress reducing properties.
Could dietary supplementation of dried Agaricus bisporus medicinal mushroom prevent
oxidation in chickens? And would the mushroom also promote growth?
90 one-day-old female broiler chicks were chosen for the trial, divided into an
experimental or control group. The experimental group was given prepared Agaricus
bisporus medicinal mushroom extract in their feed for 42 days.
The chickens growth performance was measured. The liver, breast and thigh meats
were tested for antioxidants.

Agaricus bisporus medicinal mushroom an effective
antioxidant
After 42 days, the Agaricus bisporus medicinal mushroom group had greater body
weight gains than the control group. Agaricus had increased the intestinal microflora inthe chickens digestive tracts, enabling the birds to obtain more nutrients from their
feed, and therefore grow better.
The chickens antioxidant capacity was increased. Elevatedantioxidant enzymes were
observed even after the meat had been refrigerated for 5 days.
Agaricus bisporus medicinal mushroom are the most commonly cultivated in many
countries. Can a mushroom-enriched animal feed help remove dangerous chemicals
from our food chain? It looks very promising.
