Is This Why You’re Stressed or Not Sleeping?

Find out if a deficiency in this important mineral is causing your stress and sleep problems. Up to 88% of people are low in this mineral!

did you realize that it’s extremely difficult to reverse a magnesium deficiency but I’m going to tell you how to do it in this video so my question is how long does it take to solve a problem that you’re treating with the wrong solution and the answer is you’ll never solve the problem if you use the wrong solution most people don’t realize how common a magnesium deficiency is there’s been some reports that up to 88% of the general public are low in magnes magesium and what’s even more shocking than that is that it’s really hard to test for a magnesium deficiency there’s no gold standard you can do a questioner and there’s another test that you can actually extract some tissue from the inside of your mouth and then send it to the lab but the problem with that test and the reason I’m not recommending it is because I can’t get a hold of the lab that does this very specific specialize test so I’m not going to put that in the link because they’re not going to call you back so in this little chart you can see that 60% of all your magnesium is in your bones 39% is in your soft tissues like your muscles but only 1% of all the magnesium in your body is in your blood so this is why doing a blood test is not going to give you a lot of information unless you’re very very very very very severe because even if you’re deficient in the blood guess what’s going to happen you’re going to borrow some of it from the bone or the soft tissues and in the bone and the soft tissues most of that is not out outside the cell it’s inside your cells it’s called intracellular calcium and so one of the principles that I use in health is I I use a principle out of this book called the technology of War by sunu now of course this book is about fighting Wars but you can apply it to anything and so senu talks about cross referencing data to see if a situation or a problem exists where you can cross reference symptoms that are related to a magnesium deficiency you can also look at your foods to see how much magnesium is coming from your Foods or not if you have inflammation in your gut if you’re diabetic if you have insulin resistance if you consume a lot of sugar also if you take a lot of vitamin D the requirement for magnesium goes up so if you’re not taking magnesium with vitamin D you can actually end up having lower amounts of magnesium because your body is using more of that magnesium for vitamin D absorption and also if you’re on medications let’s say you’re on a PPI an an acid or you’re taking an antibiotic or you’re on a diuretic all these factors when cross reference can kind of indicate you might have a magnesium deficiency but now let’s cross reference this with a potential indicators or symptoms you might have if you’re low on magnesium tetany let’s you have a little twitch underneath your left eye are your muscles relaxed or are they tight do you have insomnia do you have a lot of anxiety do you have fatigue did you realize that you need magnesium just to make ATP the energy currency of your body also a magnesium deficiency can create you know things like NES stigmus which is like when your eyes kind of go back and forth like that and migraines and kidney stones and especially something called pathogenic calcification what is that that is calcification that’s calcium buildup in places that you should have it so I’m just going to run down the list of foods that are fairly high in magnesium compared to other Foods okay and we’re going to talk about the quantity of 100 gr okay that’s 3 and 1 half ounces so at the top of the list you have calp 3 and half ounces of calp is equivalent to 760 milligrams now I’d like to see you eat 3 and half ounces of calp it’s probably not going to happen okay what about almonds that would give you about 490 mg nutritional yeast is 231 mg PE 142 mg leafy greens roughly about 100 mg of magnesium dark chocolate is about 165 Mig pumpkin seeds are 265 mg of magnesium but magnesium is also in meats and fish but not as much as you might think so 100 gram or 3 and half ounces of meat or fish you’re going to get between 25 to 35 mg of magnesium and even if we look at the requirements of magnesium it’s called the rdas that usually is between 300 and 420 milligram per day on average but the average person only consumes 25 milligrams of magnesium per day people aren’t getting enough from the diet not to mention the foods nowadays are grown in soil that has lower amounts of minerals especially magnesium and it’s really two situations or actually three situations number one how do we get enough magnesium from the do we have to supplement and three how long does it take to really satisfy your deficiency oh and by the way all the information I’m talking about is in this book right here called The Miraculous cure for and prevention of all diseases what doctors never learned I’ll put this link down below it’s a really fascinating book based on a lot of different things related to magnesium and vitamin D but all the data that I’m sharing today is based in that book so if you’re deficient you’re going to have to not only beef up no pun intended your magnesium foods but you’re also going to have to supplement as well and the type of magnesium I would recommend is magnesium glycinate which actually helps you know stress sleeping Etc and the amount of supplement I would recommend would be about 800 milligrams every single day so usually they come in like 400ish maybe 300 milligrams per tablet take a couple of those every day but here here’s the thing how long is it actually going to take to really fix a true deficiency it could take up to a year or more to fix a chronic magnesium deficiency you have to realize that when you take magnesium from Foods or a supplement it doesn’t just go in storage a good majority of it will be washed out through the kidneys but you might find your symptoms go away within weeks or months but I wouldn’t stop there I would increase the amount out over a longer period of time then maybe after about a year of taking supplements then maybe then you just maintain it with your diet but of course make sure that you calculate how much magnesium is going into the body and then make sure at least it’s like 400 milligrams per day now I have a little more information on the type of magnesium that might work for you and for that information I put that in this video right here check it out
