Heart disease is a common cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, mostly in middle-aged and elderly people. Many middle-aged and elderly people are afraid of osteoporosis and often take some calcium supplements. In fact, calcium supplementation is not unlimited. A large number of calcium supplements will promote the formation of hypertension, which many elderly people don't understand. Here is an introduction:

According to a recent report in Reuters, the study led by Ian Reid of the University of Auckland involved 65,438+0,476,5438+0 healthy postmenopausal women with an average age of 74. The researchers supplemented 732 people with calcium and injected 739 people with ineffective contrast media every day, and followed up for 5 years.

The results show that women who take calcium supplements suffer from more heart diseases. Among the women who took calcium supplements, 365,438+0 suffered from heart disease, while among the women who took ineffective control agents, only 265,438+0 suffered from heart disease. This is because calcium supplementation will increase the calcium content in blood, thus accelerating the formation of deposits in arteries, which may lead to heart disease.

The researchers pointed out that a large amount of calcium supplementation may have side effects on vascular health. Although this is not the final conclusion, this discovery is conducive to further research.

In order to prevent osteoporosis, many women try their best to supplement calcium. Previous studies have shown that calcium supplementation may prevent vascular diseases because it can reduce the content of bad cholesterol in blood.
