He continues, “Magnesium deficiency is one of the most common nutritional problems in the industrialized world today. This deficiency is the result of agricultural practices and of food preparation techniques.

Magnesium Deficiency causes problems in our body, such as:

· Over 300 enzymes in our body are unable to function properly

· Has been scientifically identified as a critical factor in the onset of these conditions:

o Hypertension

o Diabetes

o Heart disease

o Inflammation

o Stroke

o Alzheimer

o Autism

o Depression

o Cancer

o Acute asthma attacks

o Migraines

o Fatigue

o Fibromyalgia

o Acute muscle spasm - even a heart attack

o Allergic reactions

o Chronic sinusitis

and Cardiovascular disease, etc. — all happen because there is a deficiency of Magnesium chloride

Magnesium Health Benefits?

What are the Magnesium benefits?

Where should we start?

With reduced risk of cognitive decline? Or maybe . . .

Heart health support

Building of strong bones in postmenopausal women

Management of C-reactive protein (a key marker of inflammation)

Helps stop tooth cavities by its anti bacteria propertities

Maintenance of tooth enamel

Clearly, magnesium is a nutrient you don’t want to get caught short on. Especially because magnesium has an important type 2 diabetes connection, which in turn has a gallstone connection.

And just ask anyone who’s had them - you don’t want gallstones.

All too easy

Last year I told you about a meta-analysis of seven large magnesium/diabetes studies from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. Six of the studies found a significant link between high magnesium intake and reduced risk of type 2 diabetes. And the sources of magnesium (either from diet or supplements combined with diet) were equally effective.

The Karolinska team found that diabetes risk dropped by 15 percent for every 100 mg increase in magnesium intake.

Unfortunately, magnesium deficiency can develop all too easily. Menstruation, prolonged stress, a high intake of starches, alcohol, diuretics and some prescription drugs (such as antibiotics) have all been shown to reduce magnesium levels.

In the February 2008 issue of The American Journal of Gastroenterology, researchers at the University of Kentucky Medical Center noted that low magnesium levels have been associated with high insulin concentrations. They write: “Chronic hypersecretion of insulin, a feature of insulin resistance, may increase the cholesterol saturation index in the bile, and thus may facilitate gallstone formation.”

Magnesium deficiency may also increase gallstone risk by raising triglyceride levels while lowering HDL cholesterol levels.

Gallstone Risk Assessment

To investigate the effect of long-term magnesium intake on the risk of gallstone disease, the Kentucky team (in collaboration with Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and the National Cancer Institute) launched a study to follow magnesium intake and medical records for more than 42,000 men.

Results:

- 2,195 cases of gallstones were diagnosed over an average follow up period of 13 years

- The average magnesium intake was about 353 mg per day

- The highest magnesium intake was 454 mg per day

- The lowest magnesium intake was 262 mg per day

- Men with the highest intake were nearly 30 percent less likely to develop gallstones compared to men with the lowest intake

- Men with the highest intake from dietary sources alone were 32 percent less likely to develop gallstones

- Studies have shown that the average adult doesn’t get the RDA of magnesium, which is 420 mg for men and 320 mg for women.

Dietary sources of magnesium include leafy green vegetables, avocados, nuts, and whole grains.

What Depletes Magnesium?

Heavy metals in the body, i.e., Aluminum (in food & drink containers, baking powder, antiperspirants) blocks many normal magnesium functions. Unfortunately, a staple of our society’s diet is white flour, and 85% of it’s magnesium has been removed.

Our high consumption of fats and proteins inhibits magnesium absorption. Environmental pollutants (air, soil & water), emotional stresses and many prescription drugs all aggravate magnesium depletion.

Over 80% or more of the United States population is deficient in magnesium, including many who take supplements regularly. These folks may still think that regular magnesium supplements will fix magnesium deficiency. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case.

Anxiety, stress, depression, the stress of our modern lifestyle, whether chemical, environmental or mental, depletes magnesium reserves far more rapidly than was previously realized.

The following is a list of magnesium depletors. The more dominant they are in your life, the more magnesium your body will need.

• Sugar
• High sodium diet
• Mental stress
• Physical stress
• Coffee
• Alcohol
• Low thyroid
• Chronic pain
• Diuretics
• Cola-type sodas
• A high calcium diet
• Tobacco
• High perspiration
• Medical drugs of all types
• A high carbohydrate diet
• Death of a family member

How can Calcium deplete magnesium? Well, Excess calcium can become a real problem. Excess magnesium, on the other hand, is impossible.

Excess calcium combined with low magnesium will create osteoporosis and fragile bones.So, take even more transdermal Magnesium to build strong bones.

Magnesium Levels and Loss of Muscle Mass in Older People

As reported in a magnesium newsletter: In a research study reported in the August 2006 edition of the prestigious American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers investigated whether loss of magnesium may contribute to loss of muscle mass in older people and discovered that low magnesium levels are responsible for a significant decline in muscle strength.

Deficiency in Magnesium causes weak muscles. Muscle strength testing and function were evaluated in over 1,100 men and women with an average age of 67. Researchers found there was a very strong relationship between magnesium levels and muscle function after other factors were adjusted for. They noted that individuals with higher magnesium levels generally had a stronger hand grip, more power in their legs and were able to extend their knees and ankles with more force. Dr. L.J. Dominguez, who headed up the study, noted that 68% of adults get less than the recommended daily allowance of magnesium and that older people and those with chronic disease are at particularly high risk of magnesium deficiency.

There are hundreds of studies proving adequate magnesium is essential for healthy cell function of the heart, brain, muscles and nerves.

Magnesium and diabetes is found here at Suble Energy Therapy

According to the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition at the University of Saskatchewan in the study of the nutritional intake of elderly residents in long term care facilities, it was found that even those consuming a regular healthy diet may not be receiving their daily nutritional requirements. 

Inadequacies were found in over 70% of the participants.  Deficiencies were found in folate, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins E and B6.  The conclusion of this study suggests that nutrient-dense foods may not provide the nutritional requirements. 

Magnesium is an important mineral for the brain, heart, in fact the entire body.  Countless studies over the past 15 years have proven this fact, over and over. 

Magnesium deficiencies have been linked to heart issues, mental disorders and depression, fatigue and chronic pain, skin disorders, and more. 

It is sad that our health care providers often overlook such an available, vital nutrient.  Nutrition is the most basic starting point to maintaining good health and well-being.

Early signs of magnesium deficiency include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and weakness. As magnesium deficiency worsens, numbness, tingling, muscle contractions and leg cramps, seizures, personality changes, abnormal heart rhythms, and coronary spasms can occur . You could even have a heart attack or a “heart muscle cramp.” To learn more about taking magnesium the easy way — spray on Magnesium cell oil — just visit here Http://subtleenergytherapy.org

Severe magnesium deficiency can result in low levels of calcium in the blood (hypocalcemia). Magnesium deficiency is also associated with low levels of potassium in the blood (hypokalemia) Your body needs a good level of Magnesium to help with the calcium in forming strong bones.

According to Walter Last, a biochemical research chemist at Bio-Science laboratories in Los Angeles, CA:

“Magnesium is nothing short of a miracle mineral in its healing effect on a wide range of diseases as well as its ability to rejuvenate the aging body”.

Many believe that our aging process is unnatural, and that our human bodies should live and thrive well into the 100’s.  Is magnesium the fountain of youth?

“We know that it is essential for many enzyme reactions, especially in regard to cellular energy production, for the health of the brain and nervous system, and also for healthy bones and teeth.”

Studies have shown that many aging adults are especially low in magnesium, and have demonstrated a correlation between depression and a magnesium deficiency.  Since magnesium is used by the body for its normal, day to day function, does a magnesium deficiency also contribute to premature aging? 

This inexpensive, natural electrolyte may be a key to better health and the maintenance of our youthful appearance and healthy body function.  Magnesium and aging: have we discovered the real fountain of youth?

According to Naturopath Paul C. Bragg, founder of Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar and promoter of natural health care, gives us a great formula for a healthy nervous system.  This formula includes magnesium, one of the essential minerals known as electrolytes. 

“To relax and sleep better, try melatonin, magnesium, calcium and sleepytime herbal tea= natural relaxers that you can take at bedtime instead of sleeping pills”.   Magnesium is needed in the process of breaking down our food into usable energy producing blood sugar.   According to Dr. Bragg, 72% of our adult population is deficient in magnesium!

Where do we find magnesium?  In many whole foods, such as fruits and vegetables.  We also find trace minerals in sea salts, and experience rejuvenation just by swimming in our ocean waters, a rich source of trace minerals suspended in salts.  Our skin is capable of absorbing nutrients, such as magnesium.  Try a magnesium salt bath to relax and rejuvenate all in one.  There are many approaches to restore our mineral balance.

The quality of our foods is changing. While organic farming is receiving greater attention these days, our soil quality has been compromised over many years through non-organic methods. The soils have been depleted of their mineral and organic content. Poor soil can only translate into one thing: poor quality foods.

An newborn needs 30 mg per day, increasing to 75mg in months 7-12. Toddlers, up to age 3, should have 80 mg per day of magnesium in their diet. This should be increased to 130mg from age 4-8, and 240 from age 9-13. When we reach age 14 the recommended dietary intake changes for men vs. women, and increases for women who are pregnant or lactating.

Males age 14 and older should consume 400-410 mg per day. The recommended intake for women range from 240 to 400, depending on age, or if pregnant or lactating.

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey has determined that “a substantial number of adults in the U.S. fail to consume recommended amounts of Magnesium.”

This magnesium deficiency increases in older adults. Question: can many of our physical and mental health issues, as well as conditions we have come to know as “aging” be symptoms or problems created by as shortage of magnesium?
