A Key Nutrient Endurance Athletes Need Every Day: Calcium

A Key Nutrient Endurance Athletes Need Every Day: Calcium

As an endurance athlete, calcium is a key nutrient you need to be on top of. Every. Single. Day.

Calcium is not only important for building strong bones and teeth, it’s also important for every single muscle contraction. If we’re not getting enough calcium from our diet, we borrow it from our bones. If this delicate balance is tipped in the wrong direction too often, we run the risk of having weak or porous bones. Not ideal!

In the latest episode of the podcast, I dive into…

  • What role calcium plays in our body
  • Why calcium is so important for triathletes
  • Where we get calcium from in our diet
  • How much calcium do we need?
  • What factors affect calcium absorption

You don’t need to be a dairy consumer to get enough calcium from your diet. But, if not, you do need to know where to get it from and ensure you’re hitting your targets, daily!

If you’re ready to understand your calcium needs and ensure you’re hitting your daily targets with ease, join us inside the Triathlon Nutrition Academy. Join the waitlist to be the first in the door when we open again in September! Learn More HERE
