let’s talk about the earliest sign of a magnesium deficiency that you do not want to ignore there are 22 signs but the earliest sign will shock you so stay tuned for that now check this out most of your magnesium is right inside the bone 60% 20% is in your muscles 19% is in the soft tissues in the different organs and only 1% of all the Magnesium is in your blood magnesium is the most overlooked nutrient by doctors you cannot determine a magnesium deficiency by a blood test because half of the magnesium in your bones 30% can be used as a reservoir for extra magnesium for your blood so you can be very magnesium deficient in your body yet have normal magnesium on your blood test there’s no single quick way to determine your magnesium status in an accurate way but first let’s talk about how someone would be deficient let’s first go through the things that can deplete you of magnesium of course you have the sugar the refined carbohydrates you have the alcohol you have curosis of the liver you also have even uh in the Farms they put this fertilizer NPK stands for nitrogen phosphorus and potassium they don’t put magnesium back in the soil and then if we eat the plants that are low in magnesium we become deficient in magnesium malabsorption is another common reason that means you have inflammation in your gut which prevents you from absorbing magnesium and other nutrients if you’re on a diuretic if you are on a PPI that’s something that helps with acid reflux if you had gastric bypass if you’re low in vitamin D you’re not going to be able to absorb magnesium if you have inflammation you won’t be able to absorb magnesium and there are also magnesium deficiency diseases like diabetes high blood pressure arthritis osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease because there’s a huge association between all of those diseases and low magnesium but now let’s talk about the diet what foods are high in magnesium well if you guess leafy greens you are correct these are vegetables anytime you see green think chlorophyll chloral is the blood of the plant so if you want more magnesium think more green and I’m not talking about pistachio ice cream or lime green Jello-O if you do uh certain vegetables like spinach that have high oxalates that can reduce the absorption so in other words some of the foods that do have magnesium like almonds chocolate also have oxalates which can block the absorption now people will tell you that grains are high in magnesium right well grains also have Fates which block magnesium those are whole grains but you say well I’m eating refined grains well when they refine the grain or any food they get rid of most of the Magnesium so grains are not a good source of magnesium whether they’re whole grains or refined grains also when you boil food you end up leeching out some of the Magnesium roughly the rdas uh for the recommended amount of magnesium is between like 300 400 maybe a little bit more there’s some data that shows that Ancient Man needed a lot more almost double that and so most people don’t even meet the minimum amounts that we need to prevent a magnesium deficiency and this is why between 48 and 90% of the population is deficient in magnesium also realize you can get magnesium from various Meats chicken especially pork you can even get it from red meat and even cheeses especially parmesan cheese and especially shellfish so now let me go through some of the body clues that my indicate that you’re low in magnesium and then I’ll get to the first earliest sign because the earlier you know you have a deficiency the better okay anxiety insomnia depression migraine headaches restless leg syndrome muscle cramps fatigue tourettes oxidative cholesterol High homocysteine levels high blood pressure calcification in the arteries arrhythmias risk for getting a stroke metabolic syndrome polycystic ovarian syndrome it’s PCOS risk for kidney stones higher levels of calcium in the blood inflammation n stigmus where your eyes are going back and forth and Asthma so you’re probably kind of surprised how many different symptoms could occur if you’re deficient of magnesium but just realize if you have sufficient magnesium in your body all 350 different enzymes can finally work and the body can actually do its job but now let’s get to the number one earliest sign that you have a magnesium deficiency neuromuscular hyperexcitability now what the heck does that mean that’s a fancy word for tetany or twitching of your muscles whether you get it underneath your left eye like a or even on your arm like this it starts to Twitch like that any of those little twitching Sensations are the early signs of a magnesium deficiency you have to realize that your nerves require magnesium to work and apparently when you’re deficient in magnesium the nerves become more excited you get faster nerve impulses not slower and if you really want to know what’s happening we don’t have enough magnesium to push the calcium out of the cell so now we have this buildup of calcium inside the cell can’t come out because we don’t have enough magnesium so we don’t have the normal contraction relaxation so with magnesium and calcium uh we have this whole dynamic between nerve impulses and muscle contraction and relaxation now since I brought up these right here it’s called leafy greens if you want to know how much you really need to not only get your magnesium but your potassium you should watch this video right here
