By our guest blogger:
So is your loved one stressed out? Are they quick to anger?
If they are normally a calm and loving person, they may be low on the super important mineral magnesium.
Magnesium calms the cells and allows stress to fade away.
It seems that in today’s world we are bombarded with people
screaming, “women need calcium”. There is so much fear of getting osteoporosis.
People are taught that for strong teeth and bones, “You Need Calcium”. The
truth be known, you need much more magnesium than calcium. Take for example the
ratio of magnesium to calcium in the bones. There are two magnesium’s for every
calcium. For strong bones, you need magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and boron.
Since magnesium is so important in the bones, where else is
it found? Magnesium is found in every cell. It helps the cell to calm and rest.
If it is a muscle cell, then it is also full of magnesium. When calcium rushes
in it triggers a reaction in the cell that stimulates cellular activity.
Therefore, if you are low in magnesium, the cell cannot return to a restful
state, which then causes stress and fatigue to set in.
The heart is the biggest muscle. When heart attack patients
are admitted to the emergency room, the first thing they get is intravenous
magnesium in an IV. A heart attack can be caused by many things. The lack of
enough magnesium can be one of the most important things to watch for.
So why is magnesium so important? Magnesium is required for
the production and transfer of energy from protein synthesis for contractility
of muscle and excitability of nerves, plus it is a co-factor in a myriad of
enzyme systems. Most Americans don't get enough magnesium in their diet.
Studies say the intake has been dropping steadily over the last 100 years.
Coincidentally, or maybe not, blood pressure has been rising over the last 100
years.
Magnesium combats acids, toxins, gases and impurities, in
addition to cooling the body. It benefits the brain through the neutralization
of phosphoric by-products of heavy brain activity or over consumption of phosphorus
foods. Humans must have the biochemical form of magnesium. Magnesium assists in
the body's uptake of both potassium and calcium. A magnesium deficiency
promotes deficiencies in calcium and potassium. Sixty percent of tissue
magnesium is located in the skeleton. Most of the rest is found within the
cells. Magnesium is required for the activation or structure of more enzymes
than any other mineral. Many magnesium dependent enzymes cannot use any other
mineral as a replacement for magnesium. So it is easy to understand why
magnesium is so vital to our well being.
Where does magnesium come from? Magnesium is a mineral from
the earth and is found in leafy green vegetables. So if you do not eat green
vegetables, you have to have another source of magnesium.
Those who are magnesium deficient often run into a similar
problem. By the time they get enough supplemental magnesium to solve their
deficiency, they get diarrhea. This is because the form of magnesium they take
must go through the digestive tract and is absorbed at the wrong time. This
includes magnesium tablets, capsules and powdered magnesium.
Digestion is the process in which food is broken down to
make the minerals available. So having a predigested, or bio-available mineral
supplement will both help absorption of that mineral and in the case of
magnesium, prevent diarrhea caused from absorption at the wrong time.
Many mineral supplements are in liquid form. These are
absorbed at a much higher rate than tablets and capsules. Once in the category
of liquid minerals, size is now an important factor. All minerals are on the
periodic chart. The smallest form of a mineral is one atom. Thus, mono atomic
(one atom) minerals are the smallest and most absorbable form of minerals. True
chemistry tells us that there can never be a mineral smaller than one atom or
it is no longer a mineral.
For the most health benefits and the most mineral absorbed
for your money, choose mono atomic minerals in angstrom size. While they cost
more up front, they are cheaper in the end because of absorption factors.
