The cause of excess weight and obesity may be an unexpected factor at first glance - an insufficient amount of calcium consumed by a person. This was determined by researchers from Canada, reports MedikForum.ru.
Scientists at the University of Laval have found that the amount of calcium received by the body can be crucial when it comes to body weight - weight loss or obesity.
A large-scale study conducted by specialists from Canada revealed an interesting pattern: it turned out that women who were deficient in this microelement were prone to have excess body fat.
Researchers have determined that the human brain is sensitive to calcium levels: with a lack of minerals, neurons give signals that encourage them to consume more food in order to replenish important micronutrient stores.

Scientists argue that those who want to lose weight and want to protect themselves from weight gain should add more dairy products, including cheese, to their diet. These foods are very good sources of calcium.
