Taking magnesium will save your life!
In this video I tell you everything you need to know about the benefits of magnesium for your health and how to use it. I also tell you what the warning signs are that your body lacks magnesium, what the best supplements are and how you should take them to improve your quality of life.

Magnesium is a very important mineral that is used to form energy, contract your muscles, keep your bones firm, and generate nerve impulses in the brain. It also serves to control blood sugar levels and regulate blood pressure.

1 in 2 people may have a lack or deficiency of magnesium and not know it! If you lack magnesium you may have these signs and symptoms: muscle cramps in your legs and feet, fatigue, tiredness, muscle weakness, loss of memory and concentration. When magnesium deficiency (hypomagnesemia) is severe it can be fatal by causing heart attacks and respiratory arrest.

Lack of magnesium also causes insomnia, anxiety, dizziness and depression.

Taking magnesium reduces the risk of heart problems, diabetes, and improves osteoporosis.

Normal magnesium in blood is 1.7 to 2.2mg/dl, and the recommended dose for adults is 420mg of magnesium per day to stay healthy.

List of foods richest in magnesium and the dosage of each one:
30 grams of pumpkin seeds: 156mg
1 tablespoon or 30 grams of chia seeds: 111mg
Half cup of spinach: 78mg
30 grams of nuts: 80mg
Half cup of brown rice: 40mg
1 banana: 32mg
1 glass of milk: 27mg
Half cup of avocado: 22mg
1 slice of whole wheat bread: 23mg

The best types of magnesium to take are:
Magnesium threonate
Magnesium malate (dimalate)
Magnesium gluconate
Magnesium citrate

Magnesium hydroxide is a laxative, it is not useful as a supplement. And carbonate serves as an antacid, but it is not recommended to recover this mineral if you have a deficiency.

All of these are very good and have benefits. Magnesium Lthreonate can improve brain function, ideal for treating symptoms of anxiety, stress, memory and concentration problems. It is also good for chronic pain and fibromyalgia sufferers.

But you have to be very careful with side effects, in some people these supplements cause diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.

People with advanced kidney failure should not take magnesium because there is a risk of poisoning.
