hey guys I’m back and I created a three-part series on magnesium and calcium a very fascinating topic I’m gonna start out with the basics and we’re gonna focus on magnesium in this video so magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymes enzymes are those proteins that do to work in the body and they help the body in its chemistry so magnesium is a mineral that is a co helper in a lot of different things protein synthesis which basically making protein hair nails muscle energy production so magnesium is like the spark plug that allows energy to be created in the mitochondria that’s the energy factor of the cell it’s also involved in bone muscle nerve and glucose carbohydrate metabolism you need magnesium so if you’re deficient in magnesium you get cramps those cramps could be in your back and your legs and your calves it could be even the arteries and this is why if you’re deficient in magnesium you can have high blood pressure and your arteries become stiff when you’re low in magnesium you increase the risk of getting diabetes why because magnesium is involved in regulating insulin and preventing insulin resistance okay it keeps insulin check so if you’re low in magnesium insulin resistance is worse okay in fact if you take magnesium you’ll improve insulin resistance to a certain degree okay kidney dysfunction you need magnesium to make sure the kidney functions normally if you’re deficient in magnesium you can develop arrhythmias which is an abnormal heart rhythm mitral valve prolapse if you’re deficient insomnia increased stress and anxiety and fatigue okay now how do you become deficient in magnesium one it’s from the diet you’re not consuming enough greens okay at the heart of deep leafy green vegetables you have chlorophyll and magnesium is the mineral involved in the chlorophyll molecule it’s very similar in chemistry to blood in blood you have iron and in chlorophyll you have magnesium okay so when you have too much calcium in the body you can create a magnesium deficiency and if you have instant resistance you’re gonna be deficient magnesium because you can’t absorb these minerals so your glucose will stay a little bit higher now when you consume refined foods especially refined carbohydrates you created a magnesium deficiency and of course eating junk food and drinking alcohol and sodas will also deplete you of magnesium if you have GI problems whether it’s an ulcer or scar tissue in your gut or IBS you won’t be able to absorb as much magnesium if you had a gastric bypass you won’t be able to absorb as much magnesium also if you’re on medications to lower acids or prevent the production of acid as in anti acids that alone will prevent the absorption of magnesium all right in the next video part 2 we’re going to talk about the relationship between magnesium and calcium and magnesium and potassium so if you want more knowledge on how to create a healthy body subscribe now and get daily notifications daily notifications that sounds weird well I’ll just remind you on a daily basis about that
