A Vital Metabolic Pathway

    This  weekend  as we  think  about  the resurrection 0f  Jesus our Savior, another resurrection 0f  sort  is the cancer survivor story 0f  a  fella Ohioan Sean Swarner being from Willard Ohio. When he was a teenager and given the prognosis 0f  3 months to live with Hodgkins Lymphoma.  Sean learned  the importance 0f  strong bones  and muscles.  While there after eventually also climbing the seven  Summits  (including  Mount Kilimanjaro  9 times  –  the  Hawaiian  Ironman  Triathlon ) while with only one   functioning lung.    He  learned  that  no challenge is high enough  when you have the desire to succeed.

  Therefore, this blog post is about strong will and bones through knowing   what supersedes the human spirit. Calcium the most likely deficiency in the human body and average diet.  Calcium salt  makes  up about 70 percent of  bone  by weight,  giving  that  substance  the strength  and rigidity  to climb the highest mountains.  About  99 percent of  calcium content  in the human body is held in the bone and teeth.

    With  the remaining 1 percent  circulating in the bl00d stream  where it performs a variety 0f  important functions. It helps to contract muscles and regulates the contractions of the heart. While also playing a vital role in the transmission of  nerve impulses and in the clotting of  blood.  As it regulates secretion of  various hormones and aids in the  function of  various enzymes within the body.

    The most efficient absorption of  calcium is dependent on the pressure in the  body of  vitamin D. Which is a key ingredient  in various hormones that enable  calcium to pass  from  the digestive system into the blood, bones and teeth.  Similarly,  there  are optional ratios of  phosphorus  to the amount of  calcium consumed  that also permits calcium to be more completely utilized.

  Hormonal secretions of  the parathyroid and thyroid glands,  whereas the parathyroid hormone and calcitonin, respectively, helps maintain a calcium equilibrium in the blood.  These regulatory mechanisms also help to prevent  a deficiency  in calcium  from  developing  in  the blood stream.  When such a deficiency  does  develop,  the  parathyroid  hormone  and  vitamin D  acts  to transfer calcium  from the bones  in order to maintain the minerals presence in the blood stream.

   The result of  a mild insufficiency of  calcium over the long term maybe a  factor in osteoporosis.  Which is a disease  characterized by the thinning of  the bones.  Recent research points  to calcium deficiency  as being a possible  cause of  hypertension  (high blood pressure)  and  all types of  cancer.  Also by combining unbalanced calcium and vitamin D connection with faulty fat, faulty carbohydrates and  faulty lipid metabolism.

   You can see a reason  for cancer  and once you do the leg work research     for this vital metabolic pathway. Any and all vitamin – mineral deficiencies should  be  taken  into account if  your looking  for  ways  to prevent cancer.
