Magnesium
and Health
|
Magnesium is a mineral that serves many vital purposes in the body.
There are more than 300 biochemical processes in the human body that
require magnesium. From the heart to the bones, some of the body’s most
fundamental systems and structures depend on this important mineral.
Both day-to-day and long-term health and well being require sufficient
intake of magnesium.
Magnesium is important to bone health and structure. Indeed, fully half
of the magnesium in the body is found in the bones. One important contribution
magnesium makes to the bones is to assist in the production of the hormone
calcitonin, which increases the level of calcium in the bones. Magnesium
also controls the acidity of the blood, which is beneficial to bones,
as high acid levels can weaken bone structure.
Magnesium plays a role in controlling the neuromuscular activities of
the heart and helps to keep the heartbeat regular. It also helps to
keep blood pressure levels within the normal range. For these reasons,
researchers have been investigating the ways that magnesium could affect
heart disease treatment and prevention.
There is also interest in magnesium in relation to diabetes. That is
because magnesium is necessary for insulin secretion and function, and
plays a role in controlling blood sugar. It serves to assist in turning
blood sugar into energy, as well.
Working in partnership with a variety of vitamins, minerals and other
nutrients, magnesium serves a wide range of purposes. It is essential
to the health and functioning of the body’s neurological system and
muscular system, serving – among other purposes – to enable the contraction
of muscles and nerves.
It is important to maintain adequate levels of magnesium in the body,
as serious help problems can result from deficiencies of this essential
mineral. Adult males need about 350mg of magnesium per day, with adult
women requiring 280mg daily, with an increase of up to 420mg per day
while pregnant or breastfeeding. Children, depending on size and weight,
need between 130mg to 240mg per day.
Deficiency in magnesium can cause a variety of symptoms of varying severity.
These include significant calcium loss, heart spasms, irregular heartbeat,
nervousness, confusion, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, muscle contractions
and spasms, fatigue, and feelings of weakness, both in general and in
the muscles.
Consuming the standard recommended daily intake levels of vitamins,
minerals, and other nutrients is essential to good health and the proper
functioning of the body and its many systems. Unfortunately, most people
do not achieve this through diet alone. Using nutritional supplements
to make up the difference between what you should eat and what you really
do eat is an effective and safe option, provided that you do so with
the understanding that the standard recommended dosage should be used,
unless advised otherwise by your personal health care provider. The
body’s systems are based upon a delicate balance of chemicals, and too
much can often be as harmful as too little. A licensed nutritionist
can help you to make a supplement plan best suited to your individual
dietary needs and health goals.
