Importance of Magnesium

Magnesium is a vital mineral that is required for around 80% of all metabolic processes in the body.It is essential for muscle movements, internal organ function and nerve activity.A lack of magnesium can lead to a variety of symptoms, including muscle cramps, tension, fatigue, headaches, cardiac arrhythmias and nervousness.

Symptoms of magnesium deficiency

A magnesium deficiency can manifest itself in various symptoms, including muscle cramps in the calves, toes or soles of the feet, tension in the neck, shoulders and back, restless leg syndrome, eyelid and muscle twitching, sensory disorders such as numbness or tingling, general weakness and tiredness, headaches or migraines, cardiac arrhythmias, rapid heartbeat and feeling of pressure, high blood pressure, tendency to diabetes mellitus, nervousness, inner restlessness and sleep disorders, depressiveMood and anxiety, increased susceptibility to stress, irritable bowel symptoms and menstrual problems.

Causes of magnesium deficiency

Magnesium balance depends on four factors: intake, requirement, loss and rate of absorption from the intestine.A deficiency can arise if not enough magnesium is supplied, if there is an increased need, if the body excretes too much magnesium due to illness or stress, or if 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, which is why caution is advised with certain foods.A diet rich in fat and phosphates, such as that found in fast food, is unfavorable.Vegetables, fruits and salads are healthy but low in magnesium.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, the need can be increased in certain situations, such as physically or mentally demanding work, strenuous 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.Taking water tablets, alcohol and soft drinks 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.
