Magnesium
The vast majority of magnesium is found in muscle tissue (one quarter) and bone (three-fifths).
Less than 1% is found in the blood. It is necessary for the stabilization of membranes, the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and amino acids.
It is also required for muscle function, nerve function, and even for the formation of teeth and bones.
Magnesium supplementation is one of the most important health actions that you can take. Magnesium affects virtually every bodily system.

Magnesium is necessary for the following:
Controlling the endocrine system Controlling the nervous system Essential for a healthy immune system Helps generate energy Helps maintain muscle functions Helps regulate blood pressure Helps regulate blood sugar Helps synthesis of protein Intracellular homeostasis It controls energy production It helps keep heart rhythm steady It is associated with nucleic acid and mononucleotides in the cell It is necessary for DNA and the code of proteins It is necessary for the body to produce and store energy It is necessary for the protection of enzyme activity

We are at risk of developing dread diseases because modern farming methods have caused the depletion of magnesium in our food intake. If you do not receive an optimal magnesium intake you are at risk.
Some of the conditions that develop because of an inadequate magnesium intake:
Abnormal calcium deposits ADD/ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder) Aggressive behaviour Agoraphobia, fear of crowds, open spaces, being in a place with no escape Alcoholism Alzheimer's Disease Angina Anorexia Anxiety Anxiety disorders Arrhythmia (irregular heart rate) Arteriosclerosis Arthritis Osteoarthritis Arthritis Rheumatoid Asthma Autism Autoimmune disorders Bulimia Carbohydrate craving Cardiovascular disease Cavities Cerebral Palsy (children from magnesium-deficient mothers) Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Cluster headaches Cognitive Heart Disease Cold hands and feet Colitis Constipation Crohn's disease Crooked teeth and narrow jaw (from magnesium-deficient mothers) Delirium Dementia Depression Diabetes Diabetes-type 1 Diabetes-type 2 Difficulty swallowing Eating disorders Endometriosis Excitability Fatigue Fibromyalgia Food allergies Gut disorders Heart attack Heart disease
