In the past, people couldn’t intake magnesium from dietary sources that easily. Industrialization made the soil without any nutrients, so it’s logical that the food we grow lacks them.
We need magnesium because it’s an important part for numerous body functions, but it also detoxifies us of toxins and heavy metals.
The lack of magnesium causes muscle pain and cramps, bad digestion etc. When we lack magnesium it also harms the synthesis of the DNA and RNA.
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO GET MAGNESIUM INTO OUR BODIES?
Firstly, it’s because of the food and soil we use nowadays that are depleted of nutrients. People mostly intake unprocessed junk food these days and avoid natural products as well as healthy food.
Still, that needs to be changed, because being deficient in magnesium causes different health problems. These are some of the most common:
Cystitis
Asthma
Depression
Anxiety
IBS
Blood clots
Confusion
Gallbladder problems
Difficulty swallowing
Constipation
Infertility
Fatigue
Calcium deficiency
Potassium deficiency
Diabetes
Insomnia
Raynaud’s syndrome (cold fingers and toes and also numbness in the extremities)
High blood pressure
Dizziness
Tooth decay
Respiratory problems
Muscle cramps
Liver disease
Cardiovascular problems
Tremors
Memory loss
Personality changes
Kidney disease
Headaches
Seizures
Osteoporosis
Migraines
Nausea
CAN WE FIX IT?
This can be fixed with some diet changes. Processed foods should be eliminated. We need to eat more whole foods, natural fruits, vegetables etc. Magnesium is present in: dark chocolate, legumes, avocados, nuts and seeds, yogurt, bananas, dark leafy green vegetables fatty fish (salmon), tofu, etc. Oatmeal is also full of a greater amount of magnesium. You can use it for breakfast.
In case you’ve noticed more of the symptoms we have mentioned, you have to visit your doctor. You may have to receive a therapy and some magnesium supplement. As soon as the results show good levels of magnesium in your body, all of the health problems will disappear!
