Magnesium

[tammy]

There is so much information available on the vast benefits of Magnesium. Personally, I find that calcium/magnesium supplementation reduces my anxiety. I found that a powder form of vitamins and minerals is best when I want instant relief from anxiety. I still do get a little anxiety near my cycle changes but overall, the magnesium seems to help.

It is definitely worth researching and introducing magnesium into your diet if you have any of these symptoms or history:

Diabetes, type l & ll

Cardiovascular problems such as mitral valve prolapse, high-blood pressure, arrythmias

Chronic constipation

Osteoporosis

PMS

Anxiety

Worry

Foods that contain magnesium are green vegetables like spinach, nuts, seeds and beans. Supplementation is beneficial but it should be used with caution when kidney disease is present.

I hope it helps!

I would love to hear your positive feedback!

What are the dangers of magnesium supplementation if kidney disease is present?

Hello,

Did you know that as many as 70% of adults are magnesium deficient and that magnesium is a key hormonal regulator? Many people who have weight problems find it easier to lose the weight once their magnesium intake issues are adressed.

However, according to a lecturer (an endocrinologist) at my last recertification conference, magnesium deficiency cannot be adressed by diet as our soils are so depleted that foods that used to contain magnesium no longer does. Eating organic can help, but you'd have to eat half a ton of organic spinach per day in order to make a dent.

She recomended supplements for everyone accross the board - (did not bring up any kidney related caution) take a daily magnesium supplement.

I take mine from the makers of floradix, highly concentrated plant-based vitamins and minerals in soluble form. I find it easier on the digestion (and their products are certified gluten-free).

Namaste!
