Importance of Magnesium

The human body is not able to produce magnesium itself.Therefore, daily intake through food is of great importance.Magnesium is involved in around 80% of all metabolic processes.Every energy-dependent process in the body, such as muscle movements, the activity of internal organs and nerve functions, requires magnesium.Without sufficient magnesium, these central body functions cannot function properly or occur incorrectly.

Symptoms of magnesium deficiency

Due to the diverse functions of magnesium, deficiency symptoms can manifest themselves in a wide range of symptoms.These include muscle cramps, tension in the neck, shoulder and back area, restless leg syndrome, eyelid and muscle twitching, sensory disorders such as numbness or tingling, general weakness and fatigue, headaches or migraines, cardiac arrhythmias, racing heart and feeling of pressure, high blood pressure, tendency to diabetes mellitus, nervousness, inner restlessness and sleep disorders, depressive mood and feelings of anxiety, increased susceptibility to stress, irritable bowel symptoms andMenstrual problems.

Causes of magnesium deficiency

Magnesium balance depends on four factors: intake, requirement, loss and rate of absorption from the intestine.A deficiency occurs when not enough magnesium is supplied, there is an increased need, the body excretes too much magnesium due to illness or stress, or the absorption of the mineral into the body is disturbed.

Magnesium intake

Foods rich in magnesium are primarily natural products such as nuts, seeds, whole grain products, brown rice and millet.Cocoa and chocolate also contain a lot of magnesium.However, foods rich in magnesium can be very fatty, so caution is advised when eating certain foods.A diet rich in fat and phosphates, such as that found in fast food, is unfavorable.Vegetables, fruit and salads, on the other hand, are healthy but low in magnesium.Even with a healthy diet with lots of fruit and vegetables, magnesium can be in short supply.Valuable magnesium is lost through the industrial processing and preparation of food.Although whole grain products are rich in magnesium, they also contain a lot of phytic acid, which reduces the absorption of the mineral.

Need for magnesium

A healthy adult should consume 300 to 350 mg of magnesium daily through food.However, there are situations in which the body needs more magnesium, such as during physically or mentally demanding work, sweaty sports, prolonged stress, during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.Children have a higher magnesium requirement in relation to their body weight, especially when they are growing.

Loss of magnesium

In some diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, the body loses more magnesium through the urine.Dehydration tablets, alcohol and sodas can also lead to magnesium losses.

Absorption of magnesium

Sometimes the body does not absorb enough magnesium, even though enough is consumed.Absorption can be impaired by diarrhea, chronic intestinal diseases such as Crohn's disease, impaired intestinal function in diabetics and older people, as well as by certain medications such as laxatives, antibiotics or proton pump inhibitors.There are also hereditary predispositions that affect the absorption of magnesium in the digestive tract.
