What is the role of Calcium in the bones? 00:00:01.93\00:00:03.73 And what about Calcium balance? What about 00:00:04.20\00:00:06.90 those Calcium supplements in Calcium-rich foods? 00:00:06.90\00:00:10.33 Well, we are going to explore those issues 00:00:10.33\00:00:12.16 and more in our program entitled, 00:00:12.16\00:00:13.93 Building better bones part II, so stay by. 00:00:14.23\00:00:17.10 Hi welcome to Abundant Living. I am glad you've 00:00:45.73\00:00:48.10 invited us to your living room today as always, 00:00:48.10\00:00:50.76 and I would like to introduce myself Curtis Eakins, 00:00:50.76\00:00:53.10 and this is my beautiful bride Paula Eakins, 00:00:53.50\00:00:56.40 how are you doing today? I am doing fine, thank you. 00:00:56.40\00:00:58.40 Okay you're looking mighty good too. Thank you, 00:00:58.40\00:00:59.90 praise the Lord. You always look good by the way. 00:00:59.90\00:01:01.80 Thank you and praise him. Praise him, thank you, 00:01:02.40\00:01:05.30 alright. Building better bones part II, now of course 00:01:05.30\00:01:08.86 well last week we started this program on Building 00:01:08.86\00:01:11.53 better bones part I and just in case if you missed 00:01:11.53\00:01:14.80 last week's program we're going to do a short review 00:01:14.80\00:01:17.03 before we go into today's topic. But again as we 00:01:17.03\00:01:20.13 mentioned before there was a tease I made last week, 00:01:20.13\00:01:23.43 I am going to repeat that tease, It's a question 00:01:23.43\00:01:25.80 also a sobering answer. And the question was raised 00:01:25.80\00:01:29.03 to women who were over 75 years of age, 00:01:29.03\00:01:32.03 and the question was, would they rather die or break 00:01:32.40\00:01:36.93 a hip and be admitted to a nursing home. 00:01:36.93\00:01:39.70 Over 80 percent of those women said they would 00:01:40.50\00:01:43.76 rather die. Because if we break a hip a lot of 00:01:43.76\00:01:47.96 individuals, 66 percent of those individuals 00:01:47.96\00:01:51.00 lose their independence. So again you could understand 00:01:51.20\00:01:55.03 why most would say they would rather go down 00:01:55.03\00:01:57.90 to a early grave than to break a hip and go into 00:01:57.90\00:02:00.43 the nursing home. And also women are so independent. 00:02:00.43\00:02:03.83 Well, that's true too; yes, you know I can see, yes, 00:02:03.83\00:02:05.83 how that would cause a problem. Yeah, yeah so 00:02:05.83\00:02:08.06 as I mentioned before last week as well this 00:02:08.06\00:02:11.16 Osteoporosis is an epidemic over the age of 65 years 00:02:11.16\00:02:16.06 of age. So once one reached over 65 is now categorized 00:02:16.06\00:02:20.80 in that age group and beyond as an epidemic. 00:02:20.80\00:02:23.43 So it's called a silent disease because Calcium 00:02:23.43\00:02:27.16 can be snatched from the bones without us even 00:02:27.16\00:02:30.03 knowing about it. You've talked also about testing; 00:02:30.03\00:02:32.33 different types of testing can be done. Yes, okay we 00:02:32.33\00:02:34.23 talked about testing, I talked about the T-score. 00:02:34.23\00:02:36.50 This is the DEXA scan, DEXA, DEXA scan and they will 00:02:36.93\00:02:42.56 measure your bone in three different areas. 00:02:42.56\00:02:44.80 They will measure your bone matrix in the hip, 00:02:44.80\00:02:47.40 the spine and the wrist. And this is very low X-Ray 00:02:48.20\00:02:52.46 that you can receive. So, no problems of receiving, 00:02:52.46\00:02:56.16 you know X-Ray that you may think, it may be more 00:02:56.16\00:02:58.80 than as needed but again they will give you a T-Score 00:02:58.80\00:03:02.53 and -1 to -2.5, in that category is low bone mass. 00:03:03.00\00:03:11.70 Once you dropped below -2.5 and lower than it's 00:03:12.50\00:03:16.66 said be Osteoporosis and in those two categories 00:03:16.66\00:03:21.03 44 million people fall into that category. So again 00:03:21.03\00:03:25.20 it's a devastating disease and one in six women 00:03:25.20\00:03:28.60 will have a fracture before the end of the life. 00:03:29.00\00:03:32.26 So, that's like playing Russian Roulette, 00:03:32.26\00:03:34.26 one in six. Well, one of the reasons we have talked 00:03:34.26\00:03:36.26 also about the factor we said that one in six, 00:03:36.26\00:03:38.40 now we talk about the women in menopause. 00:03:38.73\00:03:40.53 Okay, menopausal woman also post-menopausal 00:03:40.80\00:03:43.40 women. Oh, that's true too, yes. And mainly because 00:03:43.40\00:03:45.16 of the fact that now we're having a problem with the 00:03:45.16\00:03:47.20 hormones, the estrogens specifically. Okay, and 00:03:47.20\00:03:50.60 because of the fact that sometime woman has 00:03:50.60\00:03:52.30 surgical Menopausal at early age, of course that 00:03:52.30\00:03:55.40 sets her into a menopause. And in that situation 00:03:55.40\00:03:58.13 there is a problem with the bone loss. We talked about 00:03:58.40\00:04:00.20 that first five years after Menopause of a woman 00:04:00.20\00:04:04.76 could actually lose her bone matrix, not all of it 00:04:04.76\00:04:07.76 but actually have a problem with the bone matrix 00:04:07.76\00:04:09.43 now having those little holes and stuff in it. 00:04:09.43\00:04:11.63 Yeah, okay, and so, now I understand, now I 00:04:11.63\00:04:13.56 understand too honey that I have mentioned that before 00:04:13.56\00:04:15.53 first five years, because I think we saw a graph 00:04:15.53\00:04:17.36 last week, right. And once they reached the age of 50 00:04:17.36\00:04:20.00 or when they go through Menopause, either surgical 00:04:20.00\00:04:22.20 or natural Menopause that bone matrix begins to 00:04:22.20\00:04:26.70 decline drastically, right, around the age of 50 or 00:04:26.70\00:04:29.76 whenever they go through that period. I think up to 00:04:29.76\00:04:32.13 50 percent of bone lose at that time, absolutely if 00:04:32.13\00:04:34.53 they don't take any replacement therapy 00:04:34.53\00:04:37.73 estrogen in the cells so, let's talk about that 00:04:37.73\00:04:40.26 because last week we talked about if one does not 00:04:40.26\00:04:42.70 take any estrogen replacement therapy then they will 00:04:42.70\00:04:44.83 lose their bone mass. So, how can they counteract that? 00:04:44.83\00:04:47.30 You know Hormone replacement therapy; 00:04:47.30\00:04:49.16 we now talking about Bio-identical therapies. 00:04:49.16\00:04:52.80 This is not the patch or the pill. And there is a whole 00:04:52.80\00:04:55.93 group called, The Academy of Compound Pharmacists, 00:04:55.93\00:04:59.20 and these are Pharmacists that actually do nothing but 00:04:59.20\00:05:01.43 we call them natural protocols when they do 00:05:01.70\00:05:03.43 a prescription or write up a prescription. Okay, 00:05:03.43\00:05:05.46 and of course if you want to know how you can find it 00:05:05.46\00:05:07.93 you can go to our website Hseminars.com, and 00:05:07.93\00:05:10.86 we'll be glad to let you know where these 00:05:10.86\00:05:12.86 telephone numbers are, you can get a hold of them 00:05:12.86\00:05:14.63 but these are all natural, maybe basically for, 00:05:14.63\00:05:16.53 with a soy base, okay but has been very, very good 00:05:16.53\00:05:20.26 as far as not having any side-effects, 00:05:20.26\00:05:22.13 no contraindications or anything for individual 00:05:22.90\00:05:25.56 who would take that rather than the patch or the pill. 00:05:25.56\00:05:29.80 Okay, so we are not talking about Premarin, 00:05:29.80\00:05:32.90 no Premarin. We should, you know what Premarin is? 00:05:32.90\00:05:35.30 Yes. Premarin, Pregnant Mares' Urine. Okay, so 00:05:35.30\00:05:40.73 I don't think we want that, or Prempro, they are all in the 00:05:40.73\00:05:43.63 same category, and of course in 2002 they made 00:05:43.63\00:05:47.10 the announcement. They want women who were taking 00:05:47.10\00:05:49.16 Premarin, Prempro that they want them to come off 00:05:49.16\00:05:51.83 of it because of the side effects, it was not helping 00:05:51.83\00:05:54.26 with heart disease and cancers and that was 00:05:54.26\00:05:56.96 not helping at all. And there were some other 00:05:56.96\00:05:58.73 things that were going on. So, they just stopped 00:05:58.73\00:06:00.60 all research and any woman who was on those they told 00:06:00.60\00:06:03.70 them come off, that's why the compound pharmacists 00:06:03.70\00:06:05.90 is the way to go. Okay, so Premarin, 00:06:05.90\00:06:09.03 Pregnant Mares' Urine. Right. It is not natural 00:06:09.30\00:06:12.66 for us to do that, unless your a horse, unless our 00:06:12.66\00:06:15.66 native food is hay, absolutely, and it is not. 00:06:15.66\00:06:18.53 Yeah, our native food is not hay, so it's natural for us. 00:06:18.53\00:06:21.33 We're talking about our 40 percent, the women who 00:06:21.33\00:06:23.16 are in menopause or post-menopausal women 00:06:23.16\00:06:25.36 in that Osteo issue, because of fact that of the 00:06:25.36\00:06:28.60 estrogen, and testosterone production all those levels 00:06:28.60\00:06:31.50 hormonal but also it's not just that but also 00:06:31.50\00:06:35.03 bad eating habits. Okay, now again, alright, 00:06:35.03\00:06:37.93 as we review we talked about the, in particular 00:06:37.93\00:06:40.93 the animal protein, right. When we take in 00:06:41.40\00:06:44.23 animal protein, it snatches away the Calcium 00:06:44.23\00:06:48.16 from our bones. Calcium is used as a 00:06:48.16\00:06:50.20 buffer so the more animal protein we take in 00:06:50.20\00:06:52.93 whatever source be it pork, chicken, lamb, 00:06:52.93\00:06:56.10 fish, beef, milk, cheese, yogurt whatever it is, 00:06:56.10\00:06:59.20 then the more animal protein we take in the more Calcium 00:06:59.20\00:07:02.70 we lose from our bones, so we are actually peeing out our 00:07:02.70\00:07:06.00 bones alright. The Kidneys excrete the calcium 00:07:06.00\00:07:09.30 and of course we have porous bones, or Osteoporosis. 00:07:09.53\00:07:12.56 So we emphasize that that's why milk, although 00:07:12.56\00:07:16.13 milk has Calcium but we only receive or absorb 00:07:16.13\00:07:20.20 30 percent of Calcium in the cow's milk. And since 00:07:20.20\00:07:23.20 milk also has animal protein it's actually a deficit 00:07:23.20\00:07:26.40 not a benefit in the long run and we have also did 00:07:26.80\00:07:29.50 some clinical studies in reference to that as well. 00:07:29.50\00:07:31.70 So, we are talking about not animal protein but a 00:07:31.70\00:07:35.20 plant based protein that's the way to go because 00:07:35.20\00:07:37.63 when we take that in then we keep the Calcium 00:07:37.63\00:07:40.03 that we're taking into our system. Alright, 00:07:40.03\00:07:42.50 now let's go to some other things. Now we're talking 00:07:42.90\00:07:46.53 about the food pyramid chart. That's new as of 00:07:46.53\00:07:49.53 2005 as we speak here and let's talk about the food 00:07:49.53\00:07:52.70 pyramid chart and then we're going to go into a 00:07:52.70\00:07:54.60 powerful statement as well. Let's talk about food 00:07:54.60\00:07:56.23 pyramid chart. Well, one of things that I got very 00:07:56.23\00:07:58.33 excited about as being in the area of nutrition 00:07:58.33\00:08:00.13 and that is that every four or five years a new 00:08:00.13\00:08:03.46 pyramid chart comes out. Now, this one was different 00:08:03.46\00:08:06.03 because this is the first time the pyramid 00:08:06.03\00:08:08.50 chart not only dealt with food, it also dealt with 00:08:08.50\00:08:11.33 exercise. We have never seen that before. Okay, 00:08:11.33\00:08:14.16 and that's because of course a problem with 00:08:14.16\00:08:15.80 obesity in America. America has just gotten too fat, 00:08:15.80\00:08:19.33 just too fat. And that comes from a sedentary lifestyle, 00:08:19.33\00:08:21.80 okay, and bad eating habits, fast foods okay. 00:08:21.80\00:08:24.23 And in that scenario what did Curtis so they went 00:08:24.23\00:08:26.43 through and instead of hitting even the dairy and 00:08:26.43\00:08:28.86 the meat kingdom, they talked more about whole grains. 00:08:28.86\00:08:32.83 For the first time we begin hearing a lot of information 00:08:32.83\00:08:36.06 about having five fruits and vegetables a day, 00:08:36.06\00:08:38.90 that's five each and also having whole grains, 00:08:38.90\00:08:41.80 brown rice and whole wheat bread and oatmeal and all 00:08:41.80\00:08:44.90 those type of foods in the diet. Because that fiber 00:08:44.90\00:08:47.60 component, because of that cholesterol component 00:08:47.60\00:08:50.03 where our body's taking in too much animal protein, 00:08:50.03\00:08:52.43 raising that our cholesterol level up very, very high 00:08:52.73\00:08:55.50 and causing a problem with once again the Calcium 00:08:55.50\00:08:57.86 situation for osteoporosis. And so with that in mind 00:08:57.86\00:09:01.56 we're talking more about more fruits and more 00:09:01.56\00:09:03.50 vegetables and of course we said this before on our 00:09:03.50\00:09:05.76 program. If you doing something like lets say, 00:09:05.76\00:09:08.20 if you want to know an apple, an orange medium size, 00:09:09.00\00:09:12.26 a medium size banana is considered as one serving. 00:09:12.26\00:09:15.10 If you want something like let's say vegetables 00:09:15.40\00:09:17.60 if you're doing a salad then that's one cup of raw 00:09:17.60\00:09:20.26 vegetables. Okay, if you are doing anything that's 00:09:20.26\00:09:22.20 cooked then that's a half a cup of any cooked 00:09:22.20\00:09:24.93 type vegetables and of course same thing with fruit, 00:09:24.93\00:09:27.66 you know the whole fruit medium size, 00:09:27.66\00:09:29.66 but if they're not cooked that we are talking about 00:09:29.66\00:09:31.90 a half of cup of cooked. Now when it comes with the 00:09:31.90\00:09:35.63 pasta and grains, I've got to say this, we're only 00:09:35.63\00:09:38.83 talking about a half a cup of pasta and a half a cup 00:09:38.83\00:09:43.03 of rice, alright, because we're looking at, basically 00:09:43.03\00:09:46.20 we're talking about a person taking it about 2000 00:09:46.20\00:09:48.60 calories a day. Basically women 2000 a day, 00:09:48.60\00:09:51.73 men between 2400 to 2600 calories a day 00:09:51.73\00:09:55.63 as those individuals who don't eat quite that much 00:09:55.63\00:09:58.16 but our concern is mainly that the normalcy to not 00:09:58.16\00:10:02.13 gain weight is about 2000 for women, 2400 to 2600 00:10:02.13\00:10:07.30 for men as well. Okay, so done with the plant based 00:10:07.30\00:10:09.96 whole grains, plant based; emphasizing the plant based 00:10:09.96\00:10:13.16 protein as apposed to animal protein. Well, I think 00:10:13.16\00:10:15.56 the animal protein is more higher up in the pyramid 00:10:15.56\00:10:18.00 chart. Absolutely, that's emphasizing, right, right, 00:10:18.00\00:10:20.66 very good. Well you know the other thing that we're 00:10:20.66\00:10:24.06 concerned about also and that is what about 00:10:24.06\00:10:26.10 nutrition for the bones. Okay, we're gonna have a 00:10:26.10\00:10:28.83 powerful statement I am going read on the screen, 00:10:28.83\00:10:30.73 before we go to the screen let me verify this author. 00:10:30.73\00:10:33.40 The author is named Ellen G White, a prolific author, 00:10:33.83\00:10:37.40 a Christian health educator and she's written in 1800s, 00:10:37.40\00:10:41.30 believed to be inspired by God about over 12 million 00:10:41.60\00:10:45.40 people around the world. The most translated author 00:10:45.40\00:10:48.36 in the United States, fourth in the entire world. 00:10:48.36\00:10:51.50 She makes a profound statement as far as our 00:10:51.50\00:10:54.10 bones are concerned in our health. Let's go to our 00:10:54.10\00:10:56.30 next graphic. The statement is this, 00:10:56.30\00:10:58.90 "Ministry of Healing page 295, Our bodies are built up 00:10:58.90\00:11:04.03 from the foods we eat, the bones demand theirs." 00:11:04.03\00:11:10.80 Therefore this author here talks about every organ, 00:11:11.30\00:11:14.70 muscle, gland and the body needs nutrition. 00:11:14.70\00:11:17.50 Certain body's parts need different nutritional 00:11:17.90\00:11:21.53 components and she mentions that the bones 00:11:21.53\00:11:24.83 in particular need their nutritional parts to build up 00:11:24.83\00:11:29.63 the bone matrix. Now having said that, let's look at 00:11:29.63\00:11:32.60 the calcium balance, because we're talking about 00:11:32.60\00:11:34.83 calcium and in our skeletal system houses practically 00:11:34.83\00:11:40.10 all the calcium within the body, in the skeletal 00:11:40.10\00:11:43.26 system. About 95 up to 99 percent of the calcium 00:11:43.26\00:11:47.16 is in the skeletal system. Less than about 5 percent 00:11:47.16\00:11:51.73 of the calcium is in our blood stream. But this is 00:11:51.73\00:11:54.43 what happened, this is calcium balance now 00:11:54.43\00:11:56.46 homeostasis. When the calcium in our blood stream 00:11:56.46\00:11:59.90 drops, it snatches the calcium from our skeletal 00:12:00.40\00:12:04.70 system to maintain the homeostasis in our blood 00:12:04.70\00:12:08.70 stream. When that happens of course our skeletal 00:12:08.70\00:12:12.56 system is robbed of the calcium, because we have a 00:12:12.56\00:12:15.60 deficiency of calcium in our system. The calcium 00:12:15.60\00:12:18.80 has to maintain homeostasis in our blood stream. 00:12:18.80\00:12:22.36 So there is a balance there, so having said that 00:12:22.36\00:12:24.60 we need to understand what are those calcium 00:12:24.60\00:12:27.10 rich foods honey? Let's talk about that first. 00:12:27.50\00:12:29.83 The calcium rich foods, well we talked about that 00:12:29.83\00:12:32.26 before on one of our programs and we talked 00:12:32.26\00:12:33.83 about that, we talking about like cereal in fact 00:12:33.83\00:12:35.93 for instance Total, Total, just three fourths of a cup of Total 00:12:35.93\00:12:40.06 has over 1,000 mg of calcium in it, alright, orange juice 00:12:40.06\00:12:44.06 one cup of orange juice has 350; this is that one has 00:12:44.06\00:12:48.93 calcium in it. Oh, okay, you see orange with calcium 00:12:48.93\00:12:50.70 also, 350 mg of calcium, okay, soy milk this is 00:12:50.70\00:12:55.73 fortified, 200 to 400 mg of calcium. Soy milk, okay, 00:12:55.73\00:13:01.60 Collard greens, Collard greens, one half of a cup, 00:13:01.60\00:13:04.93 180 milligrams of calcium, no animal protein in these, 00:13:04.93\00:13:10.26 no animals, beans of all type, Kidney, Pinto, 00:13:10.26\00:13:13.70 you name, all your legumes okay, has between 00:13:13.70\00:13:15.86 160, and 210. Okay, alright and of course Tofu 00:13:15.86\00:13:20.36 and why is that high? Because tofu not only 00:13:20.36\00:13:23.36 the bean itself has the highest amount of calcium 00:13:23.36\00:13:25.96 than any bean in the bean kingdom, Amen for Tofu, 00:13:25.96\00:13:29.53 when they make up Tofu they use a calcium starch 00:13:29.53\00:13:32.93 okay, that actually doubles the amount of calcium 00:13:32.93\00:13:36.00 which makes it higher in calcium than milk. 00:13:36.23\00:13:39.16 Oh, okay interesting so all those foods no animal 00:13:39.16\00:13:42.56 protein. So we're taking those foods because it 00:13:42.56\00:13:44.93 doesn't have animal protein, right, then we keep the 00:13:44.93\00:13:47.30 calcium in those foods, they're not excluded, 00:13:47.30\00:13:50.10 is that right? Absolutely, okay, wonderful, 00:13:50.10\00:13:51.70 wonderful, absolutely, absolutely, okay. 00:13:51.70\00:13:53.10 What about the role of our building of the bones 00:13:53.10\00:13:56.43 and bone matrix as far as calcium is concerned? 00:13:56.43\00:13:59.13 Okay, as I mentioned before the role again homeostasis 00:13:59.60\00:14:02.86 again, when the calcium drops in the blood stream 00:14:02.86\00:14:05.70 then the calcium in our skeletal system replaces 00:14:06.10\00:14:09.16 that and then of course our skeletal system is going to 00:14:09.16\00:14:11.66 be also impaired. So that's the role of calcium in our 00:14:11.66\00:14:14.80 system. It will maintain homeostasis, so that's the 00:14:14.80\00:14:17.80 role of calcium in the body. Now we have a graphic, 00:14:17.80\00:14:20.36 let's go to our next graphic and this is very profound 00:14:20.36\00:14:23.06 because as I mentioned before we need calcium 00:14:23.06\00:14:26.43 in our system. And it's the most prolific mineral 00:14:26.43\00:14:29.73 in the entire body. And then what's come next is 00:14:29.73\00:14:33.40 of course is phosphorus, so again calcium is there 00:14:33.40\00:14:37.06 the most major mineral in the entire body and most 00:14:37.06\00:14:40.80 of that over 95 percent is in the skeletal system. 00:14:40.80\00:14:44.66 You can see that graph there that we need the 00:14:44.66\00:14:46.60 calcium in our bones and also the phosphorus as well, 00:14:46.60\00:14:49.80 it's very important to have that, as far as we 00:14:49.80\00:14:52.43 are thinking the fact they are going to ask you and that is, 00:14:52.43\00:14:54.50 what about supplements. Okay. Now we have a 00:14:54.50\00:14:58.90 lot of supplements, people may be taking again, 00:14:58.90\00:15:01.90 we have the Calcitonin and that's very minimum 00:15:01.90\00:15:06.63 into injection or nasal, you know very little benefit 00:15:06.63\00:15:10.23 from the Calcitonin. You have the dolomite bone 00:15:10.23\00:15:14.00 meal, that's known to be very toxic, or lead 00:15:14.00\00:15:18.13 in particular. You have Evista, now Evista 00:15:18.13\00:15:22.36 is a hormone type of medication and but it can 00:15:22.36\00:15:28.50 cause blood clots from Evista. You have Fosamax, 00:15:28.50\00:15:32.50 now Fosamax is a non-hormonal drug. But with 00:15:32.50\00:15:36.10 that you have inflammation of the esophagus and also 00:15:36.10\00:15:39.66 it slows down the absorption of calcium when we do eat 00:15:39.66\00:15:43.16 foods. So all these supplementations do have 00:15:43.16\00:15:46.20 their downside, so what we emphasizing here, 00:15:46.20\00:15:49.00 in next week's program as well, is to increase our 00:15:49.00\00:15:52.60 calcium rich foods and to avoid animal protein at the 00:15:52.60\00:15:57.33 same time. We are also mentioning some other 00:15:57.33\00:15:59.50 things as well and again one more last thing about 00:15:59.50\00:16:02.20 the supplementation. You know go to a grocery store 00:16:02.20\00:16:05.76 now and a lot of the foods you have mentioned about 00:16:05.76\00:16:08.00 the Tofu that's now fortified with calcium. 00:16:08.00\00:16:11.13 According to the physician desk reference a lot of 00:16:11.60\00:16:15.13 foods are now fortified with calcium. There are different 00:16:15.13\00:16:17.60 types of calcium. You have Calcium carbonate, 00:16:17.60\00:16:20.70 calcium phosphate, calcium citrate, calcium lactate, 00:16:21.60\00:16:27.60 it goes all the way down the list. The most absorbable 00:16:27.60\00:16:30.76 type of calcium is according to the physician desk 00:16:30.76\00:16:34.73 reference is calcium carbonate about 41 percent, 00:16:34.73\00:16:39.10 calcium phosphate about 40 percent and then this 00:16:39.63\00:16:43.10 third is the calcium citrate and some of those 00:16:43.73\00:16:49.10 calcium supplementations are now fortified in your 00:16:49.10\00:16:51.73 soy milks. Okay, but the main thing is that you want 00:16:51.73\00:16:54.70 to make sure that, that calcium carbonate tends to 00:16:54.70\00:16:57.26 settle down at the bottom of the carton, that's why 00:16:57.26\00:17:01.03 it's said on the carton quite often, shake well, 00:17:01.03\00:17:05.36 shake well. When we shake it up then we get that 00:17:05.36\00:17:07.70 calcium carbonate otherwise 30 percent or more can be 00:17:07.70\00:17:11.56 at the bottom of the carton and we miss out on that 00:17:11.56\00:17:14.20 calcium carbonate or other type of calcium that has 00:17:14.20\00:17:16.66 been supplemented in those particular types of foods. 00:17:16.66\00:17:19.20 Well you can see that we've also moved into 00:17:19.90\00:17:22.00 the section of talking about now the vitamins and 00:17:22.00\00:17:24.90 minerals and foods that we should be eating, 00:17:24.90\00:17:26.63 plant based versus animal protein which is what we 00:17:26.90\00:17:29.73 always talk about on abundant living and also 00:17:29.73\00:17:31.66 here at 3ABN of having that plant based diet that 00:17:31.66\00:17:34.73 the original of the God, the original diet that God 00:17:34.73\00:17:37.60 gave to you and I, Amen, to keep us healthy. 00:17:37.60\00:17:40.23 Well I know you're wondering are we going to go 00:17:40.23\00:17:41.63 in Kitchen now? This is really surprise because, 00:17:41.63\00:17:43.56 I am actually going to make a sausage vegetable soup. 00:17:43.56\00:17:47.96 I and know you said, oh wait a minute just let me 00:17:47.96\00:17:49.36 talk about protein, that's animal protein. 00:17:49.36\00:17:51.70 This is a mock, oh, vegetable mock sausage 00:17:51.70\00:17:56.06 vegetable soup. So get your pen and 00:17:56.06\00:17:57.80 your paper and meet us in the kitchen. 00:17:57.80\00:17:59.66 Would you li 00:17:59.66\00:18:00.73
