Magnesium is one of the most overlooked and yet most important minerals in our bodies. It has been found to be a critical element for over 325 biochemical reactions. Magnesium is also known for its ability as a natural muscle relaxant. When magnesium reaches the blood stream, muscles relax, which can generate a chain reaction of good health. Relaxed muscles can translate into lower blood pressure, fewer muscle spasms and cramps,
less pressure on joints and nerves, better sleep and more energy.
Magnesium also plays a major role in the transmission of hormones as well, including insulin, thyroid, estrogen and more. It is easy to see how magnesium is a major factor in blood sugar elevation, weight gain, mood swings and irritability, etc. One of magnesium's primary roles is assisting proper heart function. Those with heart conditions should be concerned about magnesium deficiency. Furthermore, a deficiency in magnesium has also been linked to various learning disorders in children.
