One of the existing content in milk is
calcium. Apparently calcium is also good for the heart muscle, because lack of
calcium can lead to sudden cardiac arrest.
"Calcium in milk is its main function as
well in addition to bone to heart muscle contraction, because it can also be a
sudden heart attack due to lack of calcium," says nutritionist Emilia E
Achmadi, MS, RD in the event celebrates World School Milk Day for Child
Nutrition Improvement SDN01 Menteng, Jakarta.
Emilia said that the failure of the heart
muscle contraction is the same as the common cramps. However, if for example
the leg cramps, it can be overcome by doing the massage, but if the heart
muscle cramps it can not be massaged as usual.
"In the muscle contractions is needed
calcium in the blood, and research about it already exists. If possible, from
milk because it is the best source," said Emilia who is a graduate of
Oklahoma State University, USA.
This is because in milk besides calcium there
are also other nutrients that have benefits for the body, such as vitamin A,
which can protect the skin, and vitamin B complex which is good for thinking
and optimize nerve function.
Even so this calcium intake is not recommended
obtained through supplements, because the intake obtained naturally stay
better. Other than milk some other foods that contain calcium, such as cheese,
almonds, yogurt or broccoli.
Calcium has an important function for the
organ that helps regulate heart rate pacemaker cell contraction, signaling the
muscles to contract and to tell the heart how strong the contractions.
Apart from lack of calcium, heart attacks can
also be triggered by diet and unhealthy lifestyle such as often eating fatty foods, less exercise, alcohol consumption and smoking.
