More and more studies are pointing
to how important it is to have magnesium in one’s diet. Magnesium helps
maintain proper functioning of the heart (absolutely critical as a
matter of fact), muscles and nervous system, it helps absorb calcium and
potassium, and is necessary for proper protein synthesis and
carbohydrate metabolism in the body.
Just recently, a study done by Dr.
Tsai, from the University of Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington, KY
found that a magnesium-enriched diet appears to reduce the risk of
symptomatic gallstone disease along with preventing a number of other
chronic ailments. This is just one of many studies showing how critical
magnesium is to the human body for proper functioning and prevention of
diseases.
However, a recent Gallup poll found
that four out of five Americans (that is a whopping 80%!) are not
consuming enough magnesium from diet alone. And the problem may even
more than what these numbers indicate because it does not account for
those who take medications, many of which are known to deplete the body
of magnesium as well.
The Gallup poll also found that even
if vitamin and mineral supplements are being counted in with the diet
intake of magnesium, only a third of Americans are consuming the
Recommended Dietary Allowance (310-420 mg/day).
Most of the respondents were not
even aware of the daily requirements for magnesium. "It's clear that
most people aren't aware of the important role that magnesium plays in
the body. If people are concerned about their magnesium levels, they
should make sure to discuss medications and health conditions with their
doctor when evaluating their diet and magnesium supplement options,"
said Barbara Levine, R.D., PhD., Associate Professor of Nutrition in
Medicine, Weill Medical College of Cornell University-New York
Presbyterian Hospital.
To enrich your diet of magnesium,
you can eat more of these foods: 100% bran cereals, oatmeal, potatoes,
soy beans, milk, avocados, almonds, pumpkin seeds, cashews, cooked
spinach, and sesame seeds. But unless you are actively including the
above foods in your daily routine, chances are that you are still in
need of high quality supplementation in order to meet the Recommended
Daily Allowance.
