Calcium Beneficial for Weight
Loss
Effect of Increased Calcium Intake on Weight
Control Calcium Supplements or Dietary Calcium
The effect of calcium intake - calcium supplements
or dietary calcium - on weight control has been demonstrated in several
recently published clinical studies which support a positive relationship
between calcium intake and weight-loss for humans as well. Calcium intake,
by the implications of these results, may play a substantial contributing
role in reducing the incidence of obesity and prevalence of the insulin
resistance syndrome.
Increased Calcium Intake
Calcium supplements represent a low-fat,
low-calorie alternative to animal sources of dietary calcium. Meantime,
controlled weight loss studies indicate that increasing calcium intake
by the equivalent of two dairy servings per day could significantly reduce
the risk of overweight, perhaps by as much as 70 percent.
Other Effects of Calcium on Body Weight
& Fat
Other positive effects of calcium supplementation
on weight loss are shown in studies relating nutrient intake to body composition
which report negative associations between calcium intake and body weight
at midlife and between calcium and body fat accumulation during childhood.
There is a fairly consistent effect size, with each 300 mg increment in
regular calcium intake associated with 1 kg less body fat in children
and 2.5-3.0 kg lower body weight in adults.
