Magnesium supports bone health, helps regulate calcium and vitamin D levels and maintains muscle health, including heart muscle

Magnesium is an essential mineral for the proper functioning of the human body. At the same time, it is a mineral that plays an important role in hundreds of metabolic reactions, from the cerebral, muscular and circulatory system levels. Unfortunately, the human body cannot replicate the necessary magnesium on its own and we must take it from food and supplements to avoid deficiencies. If there is not enough Magnesium in the body, stress attacks, muscle cramps, irritability appear, the eyelids begin to flutter uncontrollably, insomnia, brain and joint pains.


 

What are the properties of magnesium?

As I said, magnesium is vital for protein synthesis, blood sugar control and prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. Both physical and mental health depend to a large extent on this mineral. Specifically, there is a direct link between a person's mental balance and the amount of Magnesium present in the body.


Here are some of the most important reactions and processes:
 

• Metabolism of glucose and carbohydrates

Magnesium helps regulate blood sugar levels and plays an important role in preventing diabetes. Specifically, this mineral helps release insulin in the body to counteract the amount of sugar in the blood. Moreover, type 2 diabetes has been associated with magnesium deficiency, and the risk of developing this chronic disease is lower among people who have the correct amount of magnesium in their body. In addition, magnesium also has a major contribution in the process of transforming sugar into energy.
 

• Regulation of intestinal transit and digestion

Magnesium acts on the muscles inside the digestive system, so it has a direct effect on digestion. Practically, it helps to regulate intestinal transit and is essential in combating constipation.
 

• Increasing bone density

Magnesium is directly involved in the formation of bones and influences the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, cells responsible for the formation of bone tissue. In other words, the strength of the teeth, the jaw, the strength of the molars, premolars, femur, is closely correlated with the amount of Magnesium fixed in the bones. At the same time, people who are not deficient in magnesium are less likely to suffer from osteoporosis. Moreover, magnesium contributes to the health of the bone system and through the role it has in the calcium absorption process.
 

• Improvement of breathing

Some studies have shown that there is a direct link between magnesium deficiency and the development of asthma or other respiratory diseases. The explanation is simple. Magnesium helps the correct movement of the intercostal muscles and when there are deficiencies of this mineral, blockages and obstructions of the respiratory system occur.
 

• Active transport of calcium, sodium and potassium ions in cell membranes

Through this action, magnesium fights the accumulation of calcium and potassium in the muscles, supporting the proper functioning of the muscular system.
 

• Counteracting fatigue and states of exhaustion

Magnesium helps to maintain an optimal energy level and maintain a brain balance. It helps the neural synapses and eliminates states of stress, anxiety, and fatigue.


 

What is the role of magnesium in the body?

As for its presence in the body, this mineral is on the 4th place after Iron, Calcium and Carbon. As a general rule, only 1% of the amount of magnesium is in the blood, the rest is found in the bones, inside the muscle cells, in the liver and the heart.


Magnesium is essential for the health of the cardiovascular system. A low level of magnesium in the body is associated with important cardiovascular diseases, including: hypertension, heart rhythm disorders (cardiac arrhythmias), angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia and congestive heart failure. Furthermore


Magnesium also has other roles in the human body such as:

• Adjuvant in the case of mental states and imbalances such as depressive states, anxious states;
• Increases physical resistance by regulating muscle contractions and eliminating spasms;
• Fights inflammations in the joints and not only;
• Prevents migraines by regulating certain neurological processes;
• It helps the contraction of the interstitial muscles;

In addition, this mineral is essential for pregnant women because it helps eliminate preeclampsia, that pathological condition in pregnant women after the 20th week of pregnancy, which is manifested by an increase in blood pressure and the elimination of vital proteins through the urine.


 

What are the causes of magnesium deficiency and what conditions can it cause?

Magnesium deficiency is frequently encountered and multifactorial. Clinical manifestations of this deficiency may include: irritability, anxiety, apathy, panic attacks, hallucinations, insomnia, difficulty concentrating, convulsions, headache, migraine, asthma attacks, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, constipation, bladder spasm, nystagmus, fatigue , tremors, cramps and muscle spasms. Hypomagnesemia is present in 12% of hospitalized patients, and most of their symptoms are related to a critical magnesium deficiency.

The people most exposed to magnesium deficiency are the elderly, children and pregnant women, but also people who do sports, who eat hyper-processed food and all kinds of junk food, those who consume alcohol daily even in small doses , people suffering from chronic digestive disorders or patients taking various medications such as diuretics that are administered to reduce blood pressure.

 

In short, here's how you too can end up with a magnesium deficiency:

• Magnesium is a soluble mineral, boiling can lead to its elimination from food. Therefore, it is recommended to eat green vegetables raw rather than prepared. Cucumbers, for example, salad can also be consumed untreated;
• At the same time, the mechanized processing of cereals and the transformation of wholemeal flour into white flour causes a loss of more than 85% of the amount of magnesium present in cereals;
• Related to the human body, an important amount of magnesium is lost through sweat;
• Avoid acidic drinks. The phosphoric acid found in all carbonated soft drinks binds magnesium, forming an insoluble compound with it and practically blocks its functions in the body. It practically turns it into an inert substance and will be eliminated through urine;
• Calcium preparations administered in the context of a magnesium deficiency are dangerous because they change the calcium-magnesium ratio, with harmful consequences on the presence of Mg in the body;
