Patient's question:
Today I heard my girlfriend say she's lacking in animal calcium, which I found strange. Later, she said it was animal fat she was lacking. I wanted to know if such a thing is possible. She said it's because she often gets motion sickness, and the doctor diagnosed her as lacking these things. I've never heard of such a claim. Could this be possible? What are the harms to the body from lacking these trace elements? Also, let me mention that my girlfriend is quite slim, standing at 160cm tall and weighing only 44kg. Thank you for your reply.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you lack calcium, you may experience symptoms such as frequent leg cramps, lower back and back pain, poor sleep, easy to wake up during sleep, joint pain, and weak knees and lower back. If you already have symptoms of calcium deficiency, relying solely on dietary supplements is far from enough. It is recommended to take calcium supplements in the form of calcium pills. Women usually take Calcium Plus pills for calcium supplementation. Calcium Plus pills are very effective in improving various calcium deficiency symptoms in women, such as leg cramps, lower back and back pain, poor sleep, and hair loss. They are suitable for women taking calcium supplements. When women take calcium supplements, remember to spend more time outdoors in the sun. Don't be afraid of getting tanned, as sunlight can promote calcium absorption. At the same time, avoid drinking carbonated beverages and eating high-calorie foods, as these can hinder the body's absorption of calcium and lead to calcium loss.
