10 Benefits of Cardamom
Cardamom Benefit #5: Source of Calcium
Cardamom is an excellent source of calcium. Calcium is important for the body to keep the bones and teeth strong and healthy. This helps keep bone diseases such as osteoporosis at bay. Calcium is also important for tasks such as preventing the blood from clotting, keeping muscle and nerve functions normal, and maintaining a regular heartbeat.
Besides cardamom, other sources of calcium include milk, cheese, yogurts, leafy green vegetables, tofu, and nuts. A deficiency in calcium could lead to a decrease in bone mass since your body has no other direct source of calcium. Also, hypocalcemia (low level of blood calcium) could occur and this leads to problems with the nervous system.
