Calcium Need Underscored By Nutritionist
By ANN KILIAN
Child Nutrition Director
Warren County Schools
Everyone needs calcium! An
adequate intake of calcium is
very important throughout the
lifetime. Calcium helps make
bones and teeth strong and keep
them that way. It helps to main
tain the function of muscles and
nerves and helps to clot the blood.
Milk of any kind is the richest
source of calcium. Prdducts
made from milk?yougurt, hard
cheeses, custard, pudding, cot
tage cheese and ice cream?also
provide some calcium.
In addition to the milk and milk
products, some other foods also
provide calcium. For example,
sardines and canned salmon,
when eaten with bones, are very
valuable sources of this nutrient.
Dry beans, green leafy vegeta
bles and broccoli also contain
some calcium.
Various combinations of
calcium-rich foods can be eaten
throughout the day. One cup of
milk contributes about one
quarter of the calcium needed by
Valentine Wants
Study Of Impact
Second District Congressman
Tim Valentine introduced legis
lation last week requiring the
completion of an Environmental
Impact Statement before per
mission is granted to begin
pumping 60 million gallons of
water each day from Lake
Gaston to Virginia Beach.
"Because the Lake Gaston
Pipeline Project will have wide
spread environmental impact,
because it involves an irretriev
able commitment of more water
than is presently used by any
city in either North Carolina or
Virginia, because it could set a
major water use precedent, and
because it is the subject of
great public concern and con
troversy, it is clear to me that an
Environmental Impact State
ment should be required before
a permit is issued," said Valen
tine in a speech delivered on the
House floor.
Valentine faulted the U.S.
Corps of Engineers for rushing
the permit process to begin con
struction of the pipeline before
all studies, including environ
mental and economic impact
studies, planning reports,
recreational, industrial and
municipal impact studies and
others, had been concluded. A
wave of criticism from public of
ficials and private citizens shor
tly after permission was given to
begin work on the pipeline
prompted a court order to halt
the implementation of the pipe
line.
"Adequate study has not been
given to the impact of the
project and the alternative
sources of water supply. Instead
of a careful decision-making
process, the Corps of Engineers
has taken a hasty and careless
approach that disregards public
concern," he said. "This impru
dent action by the Corps forces
us to come to the Congress for a
remedy that should have been
granted by administrative ac
tion."
teenagers every day. One-half
cup of cooked greens contributes
only about one-tenth of a teen's
daily requirement. Thus, some
milk and milk products are
needed daily to meet the calcium
requirement of any age group.
Calcium is present in the body
in larger amounts than any other
mineral. About 99 percent of
calcium in theTjody is found in
bones and teeth; the rest is found
in the blood and inside of cells.
People often think that once
calcium is deposited in the bones
it stays there forever. This is not
so. There is a continuous flow of
calcium to and from the bone
throughout the entire life. This
flow of calcium in and out of the
bones helps to regulate the
amount of calcium present in the
blood. The reason the body so
carefully regulates the level of
calcium is because too much or
too little calcium in the blood
would not allow muscles and
nerves to function properly.
The bone is a huge reservoir of
calcium. Bone calcium can leave
our bones whenever the body
demands increase, and when too
little calcium is supplied in the
diet. If the diet supplies too little
calcium over a long period of
time, the bones will become
fragile from loss of calcium. Ade
quate intake of calcium is very
important throughout the life
time; first to help bones grow
hard and strong, and later, to
keep them that way.
Several studies have indicated
that a diet that is high in calcium
actually reduces the incidence of
fractures among senior citizens.
This evidence is strong enough to
encourage people of all ages to be
sure they get an adequate
amount of calcium in their diet,
if they wish to minimize the risk
of broken bones.
