What Magnesium deficiency can cost your life?

Magnesium - a Super Mineral - great for relaxation - stress buster

Magnesium is a mineral that our bodies do not produce so we should ensure that we include this mineral in our diet through food. It relaxes muscles and your nervous system as well as builds bones and helps your blood circulate more efficiently and it does so much more.

  • Muscle weakness or spasms
  • Headaches
  • High blood pressure
  • unbalanced blood sugar levels
  • Constipation
  • 3500 medical references linked to magnesium deficiency
  • Insomnia
  • Fatigue
  • PMS
  • Inflammation
Food sources that are rich in Magnesium are:

  • Swiss Chard
  • Spinach
  • Avocado
  • Dandelion
  • Garlic
  • Cashews
  • Wheat bran
  • Millet
  • Collard
  • Beans
  • Rye
  • Kelp

Check your blood tests results and consult with your physician especially if you suffer from Heart disease

  1. Hi,

    Magnesium can help prevent many of the processes that lead to heart disease. All of us could probably benefit from increasing your magnesium intake. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system and keeps bones strong. Thanks a lot...
