Balancing the Parathyroid with diet can be achieved.

Now this is probably something you haven’t heard before.

The right food choices can help bring our body back into balance.

What are Parathyroid glands?

Parathyroid glands are small glands of the endocrine system which are located in the neck behind the thyroid. Parathyroid glands control the calcium in our bodies–how much calcium is in our bones, and how much calcium is in our blood. The most important endocrine glands which function in coordination with one another, are the pituitary, parathyroid, thyroid and adrenal glands.

Why we need calcium?

Calcium plays an important role in the aging epidermis. Calcium imbalances play a role in psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

Calcium is important in maintaining your body’s pH levels and promoting alkalinity, as many health problems are the result of an over acid state arising from the “typical Western diet” including refined sugar, refined salt, alcohol abuse, and high fructose corn syrup.

Calcium acts as an anti-oxidant, combatting free radicals that are implicated in diseases including cancer. In particular it is thought to be helpful in protecting against colon cancer. Calcium is so important for the proper functioning of muscles, nerves and the blood.

Disorders of Parathyroid hormone affect serum levels of calcium and phosphorus.

How do we absorb calcium?

Not from a pill. Calcium is a mineral that comes from the ground. Excellent sources of calcium include (GREENS) kale, turnip greens, mustard greens, sprouts, and collard greens.  Spirulina is high in plant protein and a good source of calcium.

What can damage calcium balance?

*Aluminum-containing antacids, including Maalox (TM) and Mylanta (TM), may increase the urinary and stool loss of calcium.

Some skin issues associated with parathyroid disorders include:

• Dry and itchy skin. High levels of PTH make it difficult for the skin to stay moist. 
• Rashes and red patches. These usually appear as red, itchy patches. 
• Skin pigmentation changes. The skin may get darker or lighter in spots due to hormonal imbalances. 
• Calcinosis cutis. In advanced cases of hyperparathyroidism, there is calcification of skin tissue, which appears as firm, white bumps
