To summarize the first article in this series, we continue to be a world of haves and have-nots but in today’s version even the haves are suffering and they are suffering from having too much. This too much is too much food but not enough nutrition. The haves can eat all the time but they are choosing to eat the wrong foods and or the empty foods. Empty foods meaning that they are eating but there is no nutritional value in the food that they are choosing to eat, this is why we are giving you this information on where to find the whole food sources for the majority of your vitamin and mineral needs.
In this supplement we are covering the systems supported, the benefits to be found and the whole food sources for Magnesium.
Systems support and Benefits:
Cardiovascular, digestive, immune, nervous, reproductive, and skeletal systems. Supports normal blood pH balance, aids in enzyme activation, helps metabolize blood sugar and produce cortisone, supports healthy nerve and muscle function, and assists in forming bones and teeth. Many of the energy producing pathways require magnesium and it is a cofactor for enzymes involved in nucleic acid, protein, carbohydrate, and lipid synthesis. Glutathione, an important cellular antioxidant, requires magnesium for its synthesis. Magnesium is also involved in nerve signal transmission, muscle contraction, and heart rhythm.
Food sources:
Artichokes, black beans, broccoli, cashews, green beans, navy beans, pinto beans, pumpkin seeds, organ meats, seafood(halibut, salmon, shrimp), sesame seeds, soybeans, spinach, sunflower seeds, Swiss chard, tomatoes.
