Calcium can lower blood pressure

Element may beat low-salt diet, study says
Kansan staff writer
According to a study released Feb. 1 by John Hopkins University in Baltimore, salt may not be the only culprit when it comes to high blood pressure. Eating more calcium-rich foods may control blood pressure more effectively than decreasing salt intake.
The recommended daily allowance of calcium for people between the ages of 18 and 25 is 1,200 milligrams. One cup of milk has 300 milligrams.
Ann Chapman, dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said most KU students she counseled had calcium-deficient diets. Chapman meets with as many as 10 students a day.
"Ninety-five percent of the women that I see don't get enough calcium," Chapman said. "It's a problem for men, too, but men are not as weight-conscious and they drink more milk."
Milk might be the most well-known source of calcium, but a variety of other foods also provide it.
"A lot of women say, 'I make it a point to eat cottage cheese see daily,' but cottage cheese is a lousy source of calcium." Chapman said.
One cup of yogurt contains 400 milligrams of calcium, one-half cup of cottage cheese has 75 milligrams and a medium orange has 50 milligrams.
Many non-dairy products contain calcium, such as salmon, broccoli and tofu. But it takes two cups of broccoli or eight ounces of tofu to equal the amount of calcium in one cup of milk.
Not all dairy products help lower blood pressure. Buttermilk and many types of cheese are high in sodium, Chapman said.
People who do not like dairy products can take calcium carbonate supplements, but the body does not absorb calcium as well from mills.
Even if college students get enough calcium, that does not cancel the effects of too much salt.
Chapman said research indicated that at least 90 percent of the calcium in supplemental pills passed through the body undigested.
Chapman said most people consumed two or three times the amount of salt they needed. Salt reduction is the most commonly recommended dietary treatment for high blood pressure at Watkins.
"The calcium research is pretty new," Chapman said. "I want to see more on it. I've mentioned it to the last two or three people here for high blood pressure counseling. You know it can't hurt."
Janine Demo, coordinator for health education at Watkins, said 131 students were treated for high blood pressure at Watkins in 1991.
Barbara Schnitzer, director of nursing for the Douglas County Health Department, said smoking, excess weight, little exercise and too much coffee placed people at risk for high blood pressure.
Schnitter said the health department screened 1,703 patients for high blood pressure in 1991. Thirteen percent of the adults screened had high blood pressure.
