Welcome to the Doctor Burg healthy keto and intermittent fasting podcast.

Now your host the man taking your health to a whole new level.

Doctor Eric Burg.

You want to know what food has the highest calcium cheese and specifically

parmesan cheese. Now there's other types of cheeses that are high in calcium,

but parmesan cheese has the most calcium that many food,

which is interesting. You can also get calcium from leafy greens, nuts,

seeds, things like that, but cheese will give you the most calcium.

Now if you have a prostate problem or you have high estrogen levels or a

fibroid, if you're female, you want to get your calcium from other sources,

not cheese, because too much cheese can actually swell up the prostate and

cause difficulty urinating as well as getting up too frequently through the

night. So I'm not suggesting that you just start consuming cheese, but you know,

a little bit of cheese would give you a good amount of calcium, especially parmesan

cheese. Now that's all interesting, but what is calcium good for?

Most people talk about bone health, which is true, and preventing muscle cramps,

which is absolutely true, because you need calcium as the part of the contraction

mechanism in your muscles, as well as magnesium for relaxation, but mainly

calcium as the contraction part of a muscle cycle.

But also blood clotting, you need calcium from blood clotting,

but it has another very, very important purpose that I want to bring up,

which has to do with supporting your cellular membranes, okay?
