Magnesium for healthy life

Magnesium is very important for your wellness. There is large magnesium content in the spinal fluid, This is necessary for balancing the stimulating effects of the body’s hormones. The purpose of thyroid, gonadal, adrenal and other hormones is to charge up or excite the body. Magnesium tends to slow down and relax the system, thus regulating the hormones and achieving a happy medium.

When magnesium is deficient there is no regulation. This can cause osteoporosis, periodontal disease, epilepsy, hyperirritability, overactivity, and nervousness. Magnesium is important in bone formation . If deficient, the bone tissue suffers and the hair falls out.

Magnesium deficiency can cause low levels of DHEA. Known as the “mother of all hormones”, DHEA is converted in the body into several different hormones, including estrogen and testosterone. This hormone (DHEA) is made in the adrenal cortex, along with cortisone, hydrocortisone, and aldosterone. These steroid hormones are created from cholesterol. However, cholesterol cannot be synthesized without magnesium. So if magnesium is low, it begins a cascade of hormonal deficiencies, including the thyroid, adrenals and sex hormones.

If you have irregular heartbeats or a fast pounding heartbeat. The primary function of magnesium that is critical in thyroid disease is that it enables the muscles to relax. With inadequate magnesium, the muscles cramp. Many of our patients describe leg or foot cramps or “Charlie horses”. But when this happens to the heart muscles, the heart does not go through a complete relaxation phase then the next contraction begins before the relaxation is complete. This results in rapid heartbeats and/or an irregular heart rate known as an arrhythmia.

If magnesium is low, the Vitamin D levels will be low since magnesium plays a role in the metabolism of cholesterol and Vitamin D is made from cholesterol. If Vitamin D goes low, then thyroid function will be affected. And conversely, Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin, aids in the absorption of magnesium into the cells.

Magnesium deficiency common causes:

• Synthetic Vitamin C competes with magnesium absorption and thus depletes it in the system (it’s better to eat the fruit containing the Vitamin C than to take synthetic Vitamin C supplements)
• Poor diet
• Water which is lacking minerals from the earth
• Prescription drugs
• Stress
• Eating sugar – it takes 50 molecules of magnesium to process one molecule of refined white sugar, which quickly depletes magnesium
• Diabetes causes the body to flush out important minerals, including magnesium
• Malabsorption – lack of friendly bacteria in the gut
• Taking synthetic calcium supplements
• Alcohol, coffee, soda and birth control pill use
• Synthetic oral Vitamin D – it binds the magnesium

Root Cause of Magnesium deficiency:

Today’s farming practices essentially eradicated valuable minerals and living, beneficial bacteria from the soil. For example Potash, a commonly-used potassium fertilizer easily taken up by plants, actually reduces the amount of both magnesium and calcium absorbed by the plant. The actual magnesium content of produce grown today is drastically lower than in pre-industrial times, and varies widely depending on farming practices, quality of soil, and storage and transportation methods.

The body is equipped to absorb dietary magnesium sources, and even in cases of mild or severe deficiencies it is always recommended that you include magnesium-rich foods in your diet. Yet with the state of modern agri-business today and the increasing risks to health and longevity, relying upon magnesium food sources alone can be a risky proposition.

Select the following foods to recharge your magnesium levels
