The importance of magnesium

The human body cannot produce magnesium itself.Daily intake through food is therefore essential, as magnesium is required for 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, is dependent on magnesium.Without sufficient magnesium, these central body functions would not function properly or would occur incorrectly.

Symptoms of magnesium deficiency

Due to the diverse functions of magnesium, deficiency symptoms can manifest themselves in numerous symptoms.These include muscle cramps, tension in the neck, shoulders and back, restless legs 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, a tendency to diabetes mellitus, nervousness, inner restlessness and sleep disorders, depressive moods and feelings of anxiety, increased susceptibility to stress, irritable bowel symptomsand period 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, the requirement is increased, the body excretes too much magnesium due to illness or stress, or the absorption of the mineral is disturbed.

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 high in fat and phosphates, as is common in fast food, is unfavorable.Vegetables, fruits and salads are healthy but low in magnesium.Valuable magnesium is lost through the industrial processing of food.Although whole grain products are rich in magnesium, they also contain phytic acid, which reduces the absorption of the mineral.

A healthy adult should consume 300 to 350 mg of magnesium daily through food.In certain situations, such as physically or mentally demanding work, sweaty sports, prolonged stress, during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, the need for magnesium is increased.Children have a higher magnesium requirement in relation to their body weight, especially as they grow.

In certain diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, the body loses more magnesium through the urine.Dehydration tablets, alcohol and sodas can also lead to magnesium losses.Sometimes not enough magnesium is absorbed, even though enough is consumed.Absorption can be impaired by diarrhea, chronic intestinal diseases such as Crohn's disease, diabetics and in old age.Certain medications, such as laxatives, antibiotics or proton pump inhibitors, can also affect magnesium absorption.There are also hereditary predispositions that affect the absorption of magnesium in the digestive tract.
