Are YOU Magnesium Deficient? If you're feeling run down, irritable, stiff or you just can't seem to get a good night's sleep, or if you find yourself tossing and turning with legs that ache…there's a good chance you may be deficient in this mineral…Magnesium. Magnesium deficiency may be the most common nutritional problem in the industrialized world today, yet it is the single MOST IMPORTANT MINERAL for maintaining electrical balance and metabolism in our cells. The mineral content of vegetables today has dropped by more than 80 percent in some cases. Commercial farming technology and powerful fertilizers practically sterilize the soil – leaving it with little-to-no mineral content. Magnesium content in vegetables has dropped between 25-80% since before 1950. And we're not getting it from other foods, either: - Refined grains remove 80-97% of magnesium.
- Refined oils remove all magnesium.
- Refined sugar removes all magnesium
Today statistics show that a majority of people are magnesium deficient. This is bad news, because magnesium is one of your body's master minerals. You need it to make antioxidants and it helps fight anxiety and fatigue. It also tones blood vessels, enhancing circulation in the tiny vessels in your eyes and ears giving you sharper hearing and vision. You need magnesium for healthy blood sugar and bone building. Magnesium also helps neutralize acid to return your body's pH to its normal alkaline state. And magnesium is especially important for your heart. Did you know that magnesium is unique in that it helps maintain healthy electrical balance required for normal heart rhythm? Your heart works because of electricity… a tiny bioelectric current that keeps it beating steadily. Without magnesium, the electrical impulses would stop. Recent research shows that people who get the least amount of magnesium have a 50% higher heart risk.  Unfortunately, it's difficult to get enough magnesium today. Magnesium used to be in your drinking water. But water with high mineral content – hard water – fell out of favor because most people don't like the taste. Modern farming practices have depleted much of the mineral content in our soil, so there's not much magnesium in everyday vegetables any more. And, as you get older, not only do you lose magnesium from the place where you store most of it – your bones – but magnesium stored in bones isn't completely bioavailable as you age. You can get more magnesium by eating beans, seafood, nuts, seeds, and some dairy products. Dark green leafy vegetables like spinach have magnesium because chlorophyll molecules contain magnesium. But as noted... the mineral content of regular vegetables isn't what it used to be. You can also supplement. You should strive to get 500-1,000 mg of magnesium daily. Start with at least 300 mg a day, and work your way up from there. Take it with vitamin B6. It will increase the amount of magnesium that accumulates in your cells. However, be careful of the cheap magnesium supplements you find on store shelves. They often have impurities, and most are so cheap you can't even absorb them! A unique way to get your magnesium is with a spray infusion.
Our colleagues at Activation Products have an excellent Magnesium Spray that gives you a highly bioavailable form of magnesium that they extract from the rich deposits in the Dead Sea. It's very easy to use. All you do is spray it on, rub it in, and it goes to work. The unique thing is that the structure of this molecule helps your body retain the magnesium until you need it, helping relieve aches, pains, brain fog and anxiety in a very short time. I recommend you try it for yourself today. Magnesium Infusion, sourced from Dead Sea minerals and optimized via critical extraction methods.
