Are you looking for even more help in keeping off those holiday pounds? Increase your calcium intake! Studies have shown that calcium can play a direct role in body fat reduction because of its ability to increase fat burning, reduce fat absorption, and promote an increase in metabolic rate. Taking a dose of calcium for at least seven days has been shown to increase fat burning capacity by 11 percent. Some evidence also shows that calcium can prevent fat from being absorbed in the intestine. Calcium binds to dietary fat and bile in the gut forming a soap-like substance that cannot be absorbed. This insoluble soap is then eliminated from the body, effectively reducing fat intake. In addition to boosting fat burning power and elimination, there’s some evidence that getting sufficient calcium may reduce food intake.
