For the Ladies : Calcium
All of you middle-aged ladies, you may want to look into buying Calcium supplements. A recent study has shown. Men and women were monitored for 12 years to see what kind of effects Calcium has on weight. You won’t actually lose large amounts of weight using this method, but everything helps, doesn’t it?
Middle-aged women hoping to lose weight may find an increased calcium intake in the form of supplements to be beneficial, according to new research.
More than 10,000 men and women aged between 53 and 57 were analysed over an eight- to 12-year period by scientists at the Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Centre.
Although no connection was found between weight and calcium intake in men, women in their 50s who took 500mg of calcium supplements daily gained 1.8 kg less over ten years than women who did not use supplements. More here.
