1st Sign of a Magnesium Deficiency

Let's talk about the first symptom of a magnesium deficiency , and that is you don't have the endurance when you start exercising .

In other words , you tire more easily when you exercise .

That's the first symptom .

There are many more as well , like your memory starts going , you start getting blood pressure issues .

Your risk for getting soft tissue calcification can occur with a magnesium deficiency .

Your sleep won't be that great .

You might be a little more irritable .

Arrhythmias , due to the electrolytes that are needed to keep the heart in rhythm .

Cramping in the feet or the calf .

You can also have tetany , which is a little twitching here , or even a tremor .

Tremors could be a magnesium deficiency .

There's over 300 enzymes that are dependent on magnesium .

65% of patients in intensive care are severely magnesium deficient .

Over half of the population does not consume enough magnesium in their diet .

Also , if you have a subclinical magnesium deficiency and you start fasting and you start feeling fatigue , we just need the electrolytes .

And this is why I always recommend electrolytes if you're doing fasting .

80% of all alcoholics have a magnesium deficiency .

Now let's talk about what would cause a magnesium deficiency .

Number 1 , you're not eating enough your diet .

Number 2 , you're eating the wrong foods .

Refined foods cause a deficiency of magnesium .

More stress , the more deficiency you're gonna have .

If you're low in vitamin D , because vitamin D stimulates the absorption of magnesium .

Plus it goes the other way around too .

You need magnesium to absorb vitamin d .

I'll do a separate video on that .

Alcohol depletes magnesium .

Having diabetes will cause a magnesium deficiency .

Diuretics can create a deficiency .

Diarrhea , antacids , antibiotics , and malabsorption all create a magnesium deficiency .

But I believe the number one cause is insulin resistance , because you need that insulin receptor to absorb magnesium , and it's resisting .

Phytates .

Let's say , for example , you consume beans , legumes and grains .

They have phytates that will block the absorption of magnesium .

Now chlorophyll is the blood of the plant .

It's green .

At the heart of chlorophyll is magnesium .

Chemistry of chlorophyll is similar to blood , but blood has iron , and that's why it's red .

And this is why leafy greens are , I think , important to consume in your diet , at least 6 , 7 cups per day .

Alright .
