The effect of magnesium on our body
The influence of magnesium is so crucial and far-reaching that the symptoms of its absence are reflected in the whole organism. Magnesium activates over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, thus performing thousands of biochemical reactions that occur daily. It is crucial for transmitting nerve impulses, muscle contraction, blood coagulation, energy production, nutrient metabolism, and bone and cell formation. It also promotes heart health, prevents stroke and obesity, and improves mood and memory.
Symptoms of magnesium deficiency in the body can include muscle cramps, facial tics, poor sleep, and chronic pain. It is worth ensuring optimal amounts of this mineral before deficiency indications occur. But how to know whether you have enough of this mineral, and how much of it is really enough?
One of the ways to assess your magnesium status is through analysis, ie. by checking your blood serum, you check your blood magnesium level. Only 1% of this mineral in the body is actually found in the blood, and only 3% is found in the blood serum, so clinical testing may not successfully identify magnesium deficiency.
It is possible to gain insight into your intake of this mineral by asking a few questions about your lifestyle, and recognizing certain signs and signals of low magnesium levels. Learn to interpret the signs and find out what you can do to ensure magnesium balance and good health.
1. If you drink carbonated drinks regularly/habitually, you may be deficient in magnesium!
Most dark-colored carbonated drinks contain phosphates, which bind with magnesium inside the digestive tract, making it inaccessible to the body. So, even if you eat a balanced diet, using this type of drink removes magnesium from your body.
2. Do you eat pastries, cakes, desserts, candies, or sweet foods regularly/habitually?
Refined sugar is not only a zero product of magnesium but also causes the body to excrete magnesium through the kidneys. The process of producing refined sugar from sugar cane removes molasses, thus completely removing the content of this mineral. The more sweets and processed foods are present in your diet, the more likely you are to be deficient in magnesium and other vital ingredients.
3. Is a lot of stress present in your life, or have you recently had a medical procedure such as surgery?
Both physical and emotional stress can be a cause of magnesium deficiency. Stress can be a direct cause of a deficiency of this mineral. Since stressful circumstances require the body to use more magnesium, all such conditions can lead to deficiency, including psychological and physical forms of stress such as surgery, burns, or chronic illness.
4. You need magnesium if you consume coffee, tea or other caffeinated beverages on a daily basis!
The level of magnesium in the body is mainly controlled by the kidneys, which filter and excrete the excess magnesium/the excess amount of magnesium, as well as other minerals. But caffeine causes the kidneys to release extra magnesium. If you regularly drink caffeinated beverages such as coffee and tea, the risk of this mineral deficiency increases.
5. Are you taking diuretics, heart medications, treatments for asthma, birth control pills, or hormone therapy?
It is shown that the effects of certain drugs reduce the level of this mineral in the body, increasing its loss by the process of excretion through the kidneys.
6. You probably have a magnesium deficiency if you drink more than seven alcoholic drinks a week!
The effect of alcohol on the level of magnesium is similar to the effect of diuretics: it reduces the available magnesium by increasing its excretion in the kidneys. In the studies, magnesium deficiency was found in 30% of alcoholics.
7. Do you notice the following indications:
Anxiety? Hyperactivity? Poor sleep? These symptoms may be neurological signs of magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is necessary for the conduction of nerve impulses and is associated with electrolytic imbalances that affect the nervous system. Low magnesium level is also associated with behavioral changes, often with depression as well.
8. Do you suffer from: Painful muscle cramps? Facial tics or involuntary eye movements? Fibromyalgia?
Neuromuscular symptoms like these are among the classic indications of a potential deficiency of this mineral. Without it, our muscles would be in a constant state of contraction.
To prevent magnesium deficiency in the body, avoid these symptoms, and successfully protect health, it is recommended to use magnesium supplements.
