We went to see Dr. Zhang yesterday. During the visit, we were discussing about the calcium. Dr. Zhang mentioned that spasm at night is usually caused by the shortage of calcium. (My research shows that short of magnesium can also cause spasm.) The remedy is to take calcium supplementary plus magnesium.
Calcium exists in many food. However it is not easy to absorb them by human body. That's why children may take extra Vitamin D to help absorb calcium. Runners needs more calcium, thus running under the sunshine is a good method, so long as you have sun cream covered. Sunshine will help form Vitamin D in human body.
Many Chinese old ladies broken their bones easily as they are short of calcium. After my research, I found many bone related problem are actually caused by short of calcium, like bone spurs.
It is very important to drink milk everyday to get enough calcium and regular exercise to beef up the strength of bones.
