Dear Friends,
Calcium deficiency is not the reason why your bones are weakening as you age! - A shocking truth.
When I started recommending the Paleo Diet in 2016, I did complete blood tests on hundreds of patients. Then I discovered a shocking truth: Almost everyone was deficient in Vitamin D.
Why is 30ng/mL not enough?
Most labs will list 30ng/mL as 'Normal'. Do you know how it's calculated? If it goes below 30, the Parathyroid hormone increases and begins to break down bones.
Since calcium is necessary for the heart to beat normally, the body starts to steal from the 5 kg of calcium in the bones.
30 was set as the standard to avoid this danger. It is only for survival, not for bone strength!
Calcium pills are a myth!
Many doctors prescribe calcium pills for the elderly. This is often unnecessary.
➤ Our bones contain 5 kg of calcium.
➤ Only 5 grams are needed for heart rate and muscle function!
➤ Why take a pill when there is 1000 times more calcium in the body?
The real problem is that we do not have calcium, we do not have the 'key' (Vitamin D) that takes it into the bones!
White people and us: A comparison
Vitamin D is obtained from sunlight.
White people: Since they live in countries with less sunlight, they have 'white skin' that produces more vitamin D even in low light.
Us: Since we live in a country with more sunlight, our skin is dark (melanin). We need more sun, but we never go out in the sun!
The secret of the tribes (Hadzabe & Maasai)
The Hadzabe and Maasai tribes, who still live an ancient lifestyle, do not have any bone loss. The level of vitamin D in their blood is above 50 ng/mL.
They are the way our grandfathers showed us!
My recommendation:
If you want to live to be 100 years old with strong bones:
❶ Maintain your vitamin D level above 50 ng/mL.
❷ Avoid taking calcium tablets unnecessarily.
❸ Maintain your vitamin D levels properly to help transport calcium from your diet to your bones.
For that, take a tablet containing 60,000u of vitamin D once a week.
Just ensure that your doctor that the normal vitamin D levels should be above 50ng/mL always!
Have a healthy life!
