In the last century, American’s intake of magnesium has decreased by 50%. As a result, the consequences have become alarming. A lack of magnesium underlies our epidemic of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and osteoporosis, says Lawrence Resnick, M.D. a professor of medicine at Cornell Medical Center. Dr. Resnick also states many people worsen the problem by loading up on calcium, which flushes magnesium out of cells. The recommended daily allowance for women is 320 mg, while men can have 400mg of calcium.
Top 5 Ways Magnesium Can Benefit You:
1. Heart Arrhythmias
· In a British study, taking magnesium daily for six weeks reduced arrhythmias between 25% and 50%. If you have an irregular heart beat, you may want to think about taking this supplement.
2. Strong Bones
· Tufts researchers found high magnesium intake predicted higher bone mass and less bone loss in older people. People who lift weights or contribute to exercise daily could seriously benefit from magnesium.
3. Migraines
· Over half the people who suffer from migraines are either low or completely deficient in magnesium.
4. Sound Sleep
· Magnesium is natural muscle relaxer, allowing your brain to turn “off.”
5. Pain Relief
· If you are having leg cramps or any other types of cramps, magnesium is the answer. Rather than taking a Tylenol for a small ache or pain, try magnesium. Plus, magnesium doesn’t eat up the liver, like other pain medicines.
