Calcium

Calcium is important because it provides essential minerals that aid in the strengthening of your bones and teeth. Although a lot of people believe milk and dairy have enough calcium, they're wrong. The calcium in dairy products is too coarse for human digestion and sits in our stomachs. The toxins are passed through our bloodstream and cause high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other diseases.
