Low calcium levels increases the risk of cardiac arrest
Eating foods rich in calcium and drinking of milk and yogurt regularly may lower the risk of suffering cardiac arrest, people with the lowest blood calcium levels are at risk of having their heart suddenly stop working. Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart suddenly stops pumping blood around the body - if it is not restarted with defibrillator the patient will die within minutes.
Researchers measured the blood calcium levels in different patients and discovered that those with blood calcium levels in the lowest quartile had twice the odds of sudden cardiac arrest compared to those in the highest quartile. Men whose heart suddenly stopped during intercourse may not survive compared to those that have the same experience during sport or doing something else.
Researchers discovered that serum calcium levels were lower in individuals who had a sudden cardiac arrest than in a control group. Patients in the lowest quartile had calcium levels of less than 8.95 milligrams per decilitre, which is just within the normal range of 8.5-10.2mg You can reduce your risk of developing cardiac arrest by eating foods rich in calcium like kale broccoli, watercress and cheese.
