In a recent video we talked about the benefits of magnesium for your body. do you watch it?
Magnesium is an essential mineral that is essential for maintaining good health.
It is part of many body functions, from regulating nervous function to relieving muscle pain and heartburn, preventing osteoporosis, and controlling blood sugar levels.
Because it is needed for many bodily functions, low levels of magnesium can lead to serious illnesses, such as diabetes and heart disease.
According to recent studies, low magnesium levels are associated with high blood pressure and a higher risk of strokes and heart disease.
According to a study conducted by researchers from Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands, magnesium deficiency can increase the risk of death due to coronary heart disease and sudden cardiac arrest.
Did you know that just a small increase in magnesium levels can save a person from these risks?
According to experts from the Journal of the American Heart Association, magnesium protects the body against heart disease, and reduces inflammation associated with atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries.
Magnesium also improves blood circulation and regulates blood pressure.
As we saw in a recent video about high blood pressure, the disease is a risk factor for heart disease.
A recent study published in Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice found that low magnesium levels are linked to diabetes and high blood pressure.
Both conditions can exacerbate the risk of heart disease.
When we talk about diabetes, researchers note that people with diabetes tend to have lower levels of magnesium or are more likely to be deficient in magnesium than people without diabetes.
A study conducted by researchers from the Federal University of Bahia, Brazil, found that 75% of patients with type 2 diabetes had a magnesium deficiency.
Some studies suggest that magnesium plays a role in the pathogenesis of diabetes, affecting insulin sensitivity.
According to clinical trials, low magnesium levels are associated with an increased risk of insulin resistance, which is a precursor to type 2 diabetes.
Insulin resistance occurs when there is too much sugar in the blood.
The pancreas responds by releasing more insulin to prompt the cells to take up the blood sugar.
But over time, cells become resistant to insulin and stop responding to it.
Magnesium is necessary for glucose utilization and for insulin signaling.
For this reason, metabolic changes in cellular magnesium can lead to insulin resistance, which in turn contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes.

What can we do to increase magnesium intake?
To find out your magnesium level, ask your doctor for a blood test.
It is worth noting that magnesium supplements must be prescribed by a doctor or a nutritionist, as the recommended dose varies depending on the cause of your deficiency.
If you want to increase your intake of magnesium-rich foods, try beans, lentils, oats, whole wheat, brown rice, avocados, bananas and kiwi.
Broccoli, pumpkin, and leafy green vegetables like kale and spinach.
Pumpkin and sunflower seeds.
Almonds, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, cashews, and peanuts are other sources of magnesium.
Milk, yogurt and other by-products, as well as coffee, meat and chocolate.
