I am an extreme person and tend to go overboard with most everything I do. I take healthy living to a very unhealthy level. I know it doesn't make sense. Things get on top of me before I know it and by then It is too late and I have to recover.
Calcium is one of those things I can get too much of and it does get on top of me. I get lethargic and depressed. My muscles become stiff and calcium foods start to not sound so good. Once I lay off the calcium I may lay off too much and start to see a difference in my teeth. The teeth are a good indicator of nutrition and where I am at. Heavy exercise will deplete calcium and if you are taking in lower levels and not really paying attention you might find that you will have sluggish workouts. Balancing calcium and magnesium is tricky. Going wild with the dairy and possibly even supplements can lead to build up in the system and cause troubles I listed above.
Personally a ratio of about 3 to 1 calcium to magnesium is a good place for me to be around. Since my depression flares up due to many different reasons, this is one thing I've got to keep on my checklist when the depression comes on very hard. I know tweaking things takes thinking, if you put in the brain power and give it a little thought each day with where you are at with exercise and stress, this can be an indicator if you could use a little bit more or less of calcium magnesium.
Having healthy nice teeth is a real motivator to take in supplements for me and I have to be careful to not over do it. Once the teeth are getting whiter and looking better it is addictive for me to push it a little more.
Other things left out that stain the teeth help of course, for me it is the nutrients that do it and using teeth whiteners isn't necessary.
If you are feeling very tired and maybe depressed check this out and find out if calcium is a bit high in your diet at the present time.
