The UN’s World Health Organization (WHO) has just recommended that drinking water contain 25-50mg of Magnesium per liter to prevent deaths from heart attack & stroke. American bottle water averages <5mg of Mag. per liter, while bottled water in the rest of the world averages about 20mg .
The FDA and the Us department Of Justice caused the Mg deficient water problem by Un-Constitutionaly destroying the American mineral water industry in 1930′s, in the mistaken belief that pure water was good and that mineral was just impure.
For years it has been evident that the American population are very deficient in Mg. Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health. Approximately 50% of total body magnesium is found in bone. The other half is found predominantly inside cells of body tissues and organs. Only 1% of magnesium is found in blood, but the body works very hard to keep blood levels of magnesium constant. Magnesium plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism. It may influence the release and activity of insulin, the hormone that helps control blood glucose (sugar) levels [13]. Low blood levels of magnesium (hypomagnesemia) are frequently seen in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Healing Secret for Thursday: Magnesium makes bones more flexible. Take equal amounts of calcium and magnesium or better still make the ratio 2:1 in favor of magnesium!
Magnesium is great for stress relieving, relaxing every muscle in the body, helping with constipation by relaxing intestinal muscle, body aches and much more. So make sure you are getting enough in your diet or in supplementation.
