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
During times of stress, magnesium and zinc (as discussed in last week's e-Newsletter) are critical minerals and among the first to be depleted. It is, therefore, no surprise to see heart problems surface during times of stress, or immediately after.
Some functions of magnesium in the body:
- Acts as a calming nutrient
- Calcium antagonist, i.e., helps to balance calcium
- Essential for energy production
- Activates enzymes within the cells to maintain cell integrity
- Helps to keep cell membrane permeable to let toxins out and nutrients in
- Helps to prevent premature cell death, i.e., aging
- Essential for protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism
- Assists liver detoxification
One of the best ways to find out if you have a magnesium deficiency is to do a Hair Mineral Analysis. This will also help identify toxic heavy metals as well as other deficiencies.
