Perhaps you have heard about it at primary school as we were trying to learn the chemical periodic table, Mg - Magnesium. Let's find out how we can get a little bit of this mineral and why.
Firstly let's see how is Magnesium beneficial for us
Relaxes tissues, nerves and muscles - contributes to regeneration and proper body functions
Prevents cramps
Oxygenates cells and delivers sugar - energy boost
Holds minerals in bones and teeth, which makes them healthy
Strengthens digestions and prevents from kidney stones by dissolutions of calcium
Regulates blood pressure and cognitive activity - we are in a better mood and we can think more clearly
Takes care about our cardiovascular system - regulates heart activity, widens blood vessels and prevent calcium deficit in them
What are the consequences of magnesium deficiency?
Often cramps issues
Bad mood without reasons and irritability
Sleeping troubles (bad sleeping periods and intermittent sleep)
Problems with bones, joints, and teeth
What makes this deficiency?
Stress, alcohol, sweets or overconsumption of white flour
Analgesics, antibiotics, and anticonception
High mental and physical stress with a minimum of rest
Modern agrochemical culture - often fertilizations with acidic substances, causes high acid level in the ground, which magnesium and calcium naturally balance. That takes those two minerals out of the ground, that means they are no longer in food and animals in that level as it used to be in times of our grandparents
And where to take this magnesium miracle?
Vegetable - broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, cauliflower, cabbage, peas, lentils
Fruit - banana, cranberries, blueberries, dates, tangerines
Nuts - Para, Pinion seeds, cashew, almonds
Meat - tuna, zander, swordfish, and cod
Drinks - orange and carrot fresh juice, red wine, and Magnesia
Cereals and flour - buckwheat flour, bulgur, cornflour or cornflakes
In my opinion, Magnesium is one of the essential mineral for our body and brain. Magnesium is good to have inside us. It helps us in many ways, keep it on mind and try to supply your body with Mg. as much as you can.
