Hi, I'm Doctor Zyrowski, from from NuVisionExcel.com.
In this video we are going to be talking about mineral called magnesium.
We are going to talk about the signs and symptoms of associated with a magnesium deficiency.
The warning signs that you need to look out for and then at the end of this video what
I will do is show you how to replenish magnesium and how to get it back into your diet.
Now magnesium is a mineral known as the relaxation mineral and the reason for that is because
it plays such a huge role in relaxing your cardiovascular system, your muscles, and also
your nervous system.
It is estimated that there is over 22 different medical conditions that come out of a magnesium
deficiency.
It is estimated that only 25% of people actually get sufficient amounts of magnesium on a regular
basis and then last if not least many of the experts estimate that 80% of people are deficient
in magnesium.
Now the thing that is important to know about magnesium is that when you take a standard
blood test it likely will not show up on the test as a deficiency because less than 1%
of magnesium is free floating in your blood, so If you get a blood test and it doesn't
show you have a deficiency many experts believe that you still do likely have a deficiency
and so that's why the warning signs of this magnesium deficiency are so important.
So let’s go ahead and talk about those.
So the first warning sign I want to talk about is how magnesium affects the mind.
People who have a lot of anxiety, people who are really irritable, they are likely people
who have magnesium deficiency.
Even kids who have different learning disorders and they can't focus and their mind is all
over the place and they just can't calm down.
Magnesium does a great job in helping relax the mind as it relaxes the nervous system.
Now these same people who are very irritable and have a lot of anxiety.
Also suffer from magnesium deficiency in the way that it affects their sleep and the reason
for this is they have a hard time falling asleep at night because they can't turn their
mind off.
They also find themselves having insomnia and then they wake up the next day fatigued.
And so magnesium also helps with your sleep.
So if you are having bad sleep look to that magnesium issue.
Now let’s switch gears a little bit because magnesium also really affects the cardiovascular
system in a huge way.
So If you are somebody who has high blood pressure or having arrhythmias, or palpitations
or even someone who has heart disease you really should look to magnesium because magnesium
helps calm that cardiovascular system down in order to help it heal and restore.
Magnesium is such a important mineral to the heart because it plays such a huge role in
the contraction and relaxation of the heart.
Where calcium goes in and causes our heart to contract, magnesium causes our heart to
relax.
So magnesium plays a huge role in the cardiovascular system if you are suffering from any type
of cardiovascular issue defiantly look to a magnesium deficiency.
Now the next big thing is the muscular system is greatly affected when it comes to magnesium.
So, if you are someone who is having cramping in your leg, cramping in your arms and just
someone who is maybe even suffering from like plantar fasciitis defiantly look at magnesium
deficiency.
It helps so much calms those muscles and causes the whole body to relax.
The last thing I want to mention about magnesium is that it has a major effect on our memory.
So, though it may be affecting your sleep and causing fatigue, maybe you can even say
that it is related to the memory issue but magnesium helps support a really good and
strong memory.
So if you are somebody who's finds yourself slipping in the way of you know, not remembering
things.
Look to magnesium because a deficiency in that can really affect the way that your mind
is working.
So a lot of people ask why do so many people have a magnesium deficiency and where is it
coming from?
The truth is it comes from several different areas.
So, one thing is going to digestive problems.
So if you have digestion problems then there is a good chance that you are not actually
absorbing the magnesium.
If you have stomach acid problems, then it’s the same thing.
You are just not digesting it your body, even though you’re consuming it your body is
not getting it.
So, digestion problems is the major one.
The next big thing is people are not consuming enough leafy greens such as spinach.
Even when we are consuming leafy greens you have to realize that the mineral content of
the food that we eat today, the vegetables that we eat today is much less than it used
to be 10-20-30 years ago.
So, we have to take that in to consideration as well.
Then last if not least stress is a major problem that depletes magnesium from our body.
So, if you are somebody who stresses out all the time then might be why you are having
magnesium deficiency.
So when we look to replenishing it, one of the best ways to get it back in your system
is through supplementation.
I recommend something between 350-600mg a day just kind of depending on what your needs
are.
So, you can start out very light and increase it but if you find that you are getting diarrhea
then you have gone too far.
So, you can supplementation great.
The other way you can restore is to make sure you are obtaining plenty of leafy greens.
If you already have a deficiency supplementation is the best way to replenish the stores but
to maintain them consuming a lot of leafy greens is a great way to do it.
I hope that this video gives you the information that you need to get yourself well and to
identify weather or not you have a magnesium deficiency.
I have so many people who can look at these different problems that I've mentioned and
they can almost identify with all of them.
So, if you are someone who identifying with some of these issues or maybe even all of
them then make sure you are starting to supplement with magnesium and increasing your magnesium
in your food and then just working to fix the problem overall.
So, I hope that this video is incredibly informative to you and if you find that you identify with
many of these issues we talked about then make sure that you are looking to magnesium
in order to start finding some solutions to these problems.
You know, sometimes I have people look at all these different issues I just mentioned
and they identify with all of them so if you are that person then you certainly need magnesium
in your diet.
And even if you identified with some there is no harm in trying it and seeing if it causes
some relaxation in that area and helps you solve some of these different problems.
