Research shows calcium supplementation can increase weight loss

Calcium supplementation helps enhance weight loss

Angelo Tremblay of the University of Laval in Canada and others studied 63 obese women who originally consumed less than 800 mg of calcium a day. The researchers divided them into two groups. One group took two 600-milligram calcium tablets and 200 international units of vitamin D a day, and the other group took a placebo that had no effect. During the 15-week study period, subjects in both groups consumed 700 fewer calories per day than usual.

The results of the study published in the January issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that compared with subjects who took placebo, the "bad" cholesterol levels in obese women who received calcium supplements dropped more, while the "good" cholesterol levels increased significantly.

Researchers analyzed that the reason why calcium supplementation can enhance weight loss may be for many reasons. For example, calcium can reduce the absorption of fat in the intestine, help the body burn fat, and help people control appetite.

Researchers pointed out that calcium deficiency is a common phenomenon in obese women, and calcium supplementation may be used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in obese patients during clinical weight loss treatment. They recommend that women planning to lose weight should also take adequate amounts of various other minerals and vitamins, as there is evidence that regular supplements can also have beneficial effects.

Dairy products such as milk are foods rich in calcium. Eating more is good for calcium supplementation. Nutritionists generally believe that yogurt has higher calories than milk. Generally speaking, 100 grams of milk contains 57 kilocalories, while the same yogurt contains 72 kilocalories. For those women who are reluctant to bear the taste of yogurt and are afraid of getting fat, it is recommended to choose yogurt marked with the words "non-fat and low-calorie. Although the taste is not so rich and mellow, the calories are slightly lower than milk. In addition, the calories of yogurt with fruit ingredients are only about 65 kilocalories, which is a good solution for both sides.

In fact, the calories of milk and yogurt really don't need to be so cautious compared to their nutrition. However, you should be careful about your favorite ice cream on weekdays.
