I usually like to eat meat. Recently, I went to a medical examination and found that I was short of calcium. Can I often eat meat and make up for calcium?

    Eating meat often does not supplement calcium. Meat contains a lot of "acid-forming elements", mainly phosphorus, sulfur and chlorine. They make the blood tend to be acidic, and the body has to use calcium ions in food and bones to neutralize into acidic elements, thus increasing the loss of calcium in the body and reducing the absorption of calcium. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people with calcium deficiency should properly control the intake of meat, whether it is red meat or white meat.
