why is that a person with good calcium is stronger than a person with a lot of muscles?

Calcium is the main ingredient in bones. Bones are the frame work or "steel Support" of the body. Muscle are attached to the bones, yes they do the lifting and pulling part  but they need a good achor and lever system. It does no good to have a strong muscle if the the item it is attached to will snap.

Yes, muscle weighs more than fat.

both  omg no it dont make your bones fragile get that out of your head if your consuming regular calcium everyday then your good

Muscle is more dense that fat. When you hear about people that bulk up, it means that they have increased the amount of muscle in their bodies.  You can loose fat and still maintain weight by increasing your muscle mass.

they have more muscles than a women phisically, but mentally sometimes, not always, women can be stronger.  No offense in tended at all!

Weight bearing excercise increases the size of bone at the joints, not bone overall. But even more importantly, the cranial bones are made up of a different type of bone.

You need to keep up with calcium.  Your body depletes it as you get older, so taking supplements and drinking milk etc can't hurt!  Without calcium your bones get brittle etc, so even if you have a good level now, you need to keep it good!.

Hardness.  Bones are made mostly of calcium (which does have the properties of a metal in it's elemental form).  When your born, you don't have very many bones - it's mostly cartlidge, like the stuff that makes up the tip of your nose and the top part of your ear.  This is a very flexible substance (and that's good cause babies need to be flexible to get out of their moms).  As you get older this cartlidge is replaced with a calcium matrix and your bones get harder.\n\nThe mineral deposites in your bones are the reason why you break your leg when you fall out of a tree instead of just bending it a little.

vitamin D sunlight\nSOme forms of calcium are easier to absorb than others.  A good source is to cook a turky carcass in a pot, add five tablespoons vinegar and it pulls the calcium out of the bones.\nMany times the pills are either hard to digest or are not as good as getting it from several sources, like green leafies, and so on.  Lots of high fat foods that contain calcium are not wise.  TOo much info?

Males tend to be stronger and faster.\n\nI hate people that disagree with this statement and feel it's a put down to women.  It's not, it's genetics, it happens, why is it so hard to grasp?

Mostly it is because there are microscopic tears in your muscle...\nAnd as they repair, that's how you build up the muscle.

Magnesium is chemically similar to calcium, but cannot be used by the muscle for contracting (unlike calcium). Since the total salt concentration in our body is regulated by osmosis, raising the Mg concentration will lower the Ca concentration.\n\nCramps are caused by too extensive muscle contraction (i.e. lots of Ca connecting various strands in the contracted state). By offering less Ca in the cell fluid, the contractions can be reduced somewhat.

Calcium is slightly more active than Magnesium, because the outer 2 electrons experience greater repulsions from the inner electrons in Calcium than they do in Magnesium. As such, the removal of the outer electrons requires less energy.

They might lack iron or calcium eating healthy makes you fitt, you should eat a lot of vitamins and drink a lot of milk. get healthy fast

Generally speaking, men tend to have more muscle mass and women a higher percentage of body fat.  Muscle generates more heat than fat.

makes your bones stronger, allows for intracellular signalling, and allows for action potential in the nervous system.  In conclusion: you can't do jack w/o calcium.\n\nI am right, those who don't agree with the above statement are wrong.

very strong.\nteeth can break through bone. it is the hardest substance in our body.
