The Miracle of Magnesium

THE MIRACLE OF MAGNESIUM

 

Magnesium is vital to your health!!  It activates and maintains over 300 different biochemical reactions in the body – normal muscle and nerve function, energy metabolism protein synthesis, heart health and bone density – which are just a few!

 

 The body requires FIVE TIMES the amount of magnesium to calcium for calcium to be absorbed.  Also, all the other major minerals depend on magnesium being present in sufficient quantities so that they can function. 

 

Spinach, almonds, beans, whole grains and avocadoes contain reasonable amounts, but if not consumed each day, having a supplement is a wise investment.

 

 

Here are some of the medical problems that it can be helpful with:

·       Fibromyalgia

 

·       Diabetes - mag. deficiency is very common

 

·       Heart Arrhythmias - calcium and magnesium work together to regulate heartbeats – calcium contracts the heart muscle, magnesium relaxes it.

 

·       Blocked Arteries –High levels of magnesium reduce the risk of blocked or narrowed arteries.

 

·       Blood Pressure –the higher the magnesium levels inside your cells, the more likely you are to have lower blood pressure, more elastic blood vessels, and a less enlarged heart.

 

·       Bone Health –Magnesium is essential for normal bone metabolism and assimilation of calcium.

 

·       Migraines – Up to half of migraine suffers have low magnesium levels.

 

·       Sound Sleep –Magnesium deficiency can cause insomnia by altering electrical activity in the brain.

 

·       Cramps and Pain – Extra magnesium may prevent or relieve chronic lower back pain, restless legs and chronic fatigue syndrome.

 

·       Pregnancy –Magnesium lessens the risk of pre-eclampsia.
