Magnesium is essential for numerous body functions, and this powerful mineral is a mighty weapon against various illnesses and diseases. Unfortunately, about 80% of Americans are deficient in it but are unaware of the negative consequences they experience due to it.
A study published in the Journal of Intensive Care Medicine found that magnesium deficiency doubles the risk of death and leads to numerous symptoms and diseases.
Magnesium is an antidote to stress, so it is a strong relaxant and improves sleep quality.
Magnesium deficiency is the main cause of stiffness and tightness of the muscles, cramps, and irritability, as well as mood swings. It is part of all tissues in the body and is mostly concentrated in the brain, muscles, and bones.
It plays a role in over 300 enzyme reactions, and our cells need it to produce energy, relax the muscles, and stabilize the membranes.
These are the symptoms of magnesium deficiency:
- Anxiety
- Chronic fatigue
- Insomnia
- Irritability
- Migraines
- Headaches
- Constipation
- ADD
- Muscle twitches or cramps
- Asthma
- Obesity
- Menstrual cramps
- High blood pressure

- Kidney stones
- Diabetes
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Autism
- Sensitivity to loud noises

The deficiency in this mineral leads to elevated CPR levels and inflammation. Apparently, 65 % of the people who are admitted to the intensive care, and about 15 % of the general population lack magnesium in their body.
