I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self.

Calcium Adequate Intake US vs International

Adequate calcium intake levels suggested for the United States of America are higher than those accepted internationally, and extend the increased needs of adolescents to young adults. Peak bone mass continues to increase until age of 24 years. Results of bone density measurements support the need for calcium intake beyond that required for calcium balance and retention for growth.

However, the situation in most Asian countries suggests that their populations may have sufficient calcium retention and bone mass despite lower levels of intake.

Calcium intake may need to be adjusted for dietary factors (e.g. observed animal protein, sodium intake, vitamin D intake) and for sun exposure, since both affect calcium retention.

Fungi

A fungus is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes unicellular microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as multicellular fungi that produce familiar fruiting forms known as mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom Fungi, which is separate from the other eukaryotic life kingdoms of plants and animals. Fungi do not use photosynthesis to create energy.
