Greetings from Dr. Sharon Price, PhD., CN.

Why Is Magnesium Critical to Your Health?

If you suffer from any of the following symptoms, you may have a magnesium deficiency:

  • Anxiety
  • Irregular heart beat
  • High blood pressure
  • Irritability
  • Kidney stones
  • Muscle cramps/spasms
  • Irregular sleep patterns
  • Hyper behavior
  • Constipation
  • Bone loss
  • Easily startled
  • Insomnia

During times of stress, magnesium is one of the first and most crucial nutrients to be depleted from the body.  It is, therefore, no surprise to see heart problems surface during times of stress, or immediately thereafter.

 

Some functions of magnesium in the body:

  1. Acts as a calming nutrient
  2. Calcium antagonist, i.e., helps to balance calcium
  3. Essential for energy production
  4. Activates enzymes within the cells to maintain cell integrity 
  5. Helps to keep cell membrane permeable to let toxins out and nutrients in
  6. Helps to prevent premature cell death, i.e., aging in action 
  7. Essential for protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism
  8. Assists liver detoxification
  9. 

Two of the best ways to find out if you have a magnesium deficiency are:

  • Hair Mineral Analysis 
  • RBC Magnesium Blood Test
