A recent research has hinted at a
intriguing function of calcium in the body. Although it has long
been known that all cells require calcium to function and that
calcium also regulates the transport of other nutrients in and out
of cells, there is growing evidence that calcium plays an important
role in the regulation of energy metabolism and body composition
and, in certain circumstances, may help reduce body fat and prevent
weight gain. This week we focus on, Calcium needed to assist
weightloss.

Did you know the common cold is
caused by any one of 200 different viruses? To help prevent infection, you
should avoid direct contact with others if you have a cold or with someone you
know who has a cold. As always, wash your hands frequently, rubbing your soapy
hands vigorously together for at least 10 seconds and rinsing with warm water. A
humidifier can be used to treat dry mucous membranes, which may be more
susceptible to infection. |

Law of Success
The first law of success is concentration.
Bend all your energies to one point, and go directly to that point, looking
neither to the left nor the right.
By focusing your efforts to a single point, you'll always achieve the greatest
results. If you concentrate your efforts on a few major goals, your efficiency
will soar, your projects will be completed, and you'll be going somewhere.
Focus totally on the business at hand and command yourself to do exactly
what you want to do.

Calcium needed to assist Weight
Loss
New research shows that calcium -- three or four daily servings of low-fat
dairy products -- can help adjust your body's fat-burning machinery.
Affect of Calcium on body weight and fat?
While it�s true that 99% of the 1.2kg of calcium in the average human body goes
to make up bone tissue, the remaining 1% is vitally important. Calcium is needed
to switch muscles on and off � without it no muscular contraction would be
possible � and is also vital to the release of neurotransmitter chemicals, such
as serotonin, acetylcholine and norepinephrine. Calcium is also an important
co-factor for blood clotting and activates numerous enzyme systems in the body.
A recent research has hinted at a more intriguing function of calcium in the
body. Although it has long been known that all cells require calcium to function
and that calcium also regulates the transport of other nutrients in and out of
cells, there is growing evidence that calcium plays an important role in the
regulation of energy metabolism and body composition and, in certain
circumstances, may help reduce body fat and prevent weight gain.
