Dear Readers,

I met someone this past weekend, that suffers from constant headaches, this is what prompted this post.

You too, may suffer needless symptoms, possibly due to a deficiency in a very important mineral....MAGNESIUM

The following comes from Adelle Davis' writings:

magnesium, protects your nerves as much as does calcium. Persons only slightly deficient in magnesium become irritable, high-strung, sensitive to noise, ,hyper excitable apprehensive, and belligerent."

In the book, "The Magnesium Factor", Dr Mildred S Seelig, and her co authors, indicate...How One Simple Nutrient Can Prevent, Treat, and Reverse Some Chronic Conditions...high blood pressure, heart disease and others...

As I have been aware for many years, that a deficiency in MAGNESIUM can bring on Migraine, Tension

headaches, muscle spasms, and a whole host of other symptoms; it wasn't until I was doing research for this post, that I learned there is a correlation between MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY AND EPILEPSY,

For now; I would like to focus on just a few of the more common symptoms, and hope that you will do your own research, into other symptoms of Magnesium Deficiency.

I am concerned that you or someone you know, suffer from some of the following needless symptoms.

SYMPTOMS

1. Headaches, be it Migraine, Tension, or even Cluster Headaches
2. Restless leg syndrome

3. Insomnia
4. Seizures
5. Hypertension...high blood pressure
and a whole host of others...

MAGNESIUM ROBBERS

1. Number one by far....SUGAR
2. Alcohol...cause large urinary magnesium losses  
3. To many calcium rich foods..causes an imbalance of magnesium.
4. Hard Water

FOODS THAT PROVIDE MAGNESIUM

1.  green Leafy Vegetables...
2.  artichoke spinach, any type of beans (black, kidney, navy, pinto etc), tomatoes, broccoli, peas, cornmeal, lentils, okra, seeds (pumpkin, squash), soybeans, potatoes and sweet potatoes.
3. Grains and grain products like barley, oat bran, buckwheat and wheat flour are rich sources of magnesium. It is to be noted that well-refined grains contain less amount of magnesium in comparison to unrefined, whole grains. Magnesium is lost in the refining process.
4. fruits such as bananas and figs, provide magnesium, as well as nuts, such as cashews, almonds, pine nuts .
5. Legumes...it is important to eat a wide variety
6. Fish...such as halibut, and tuna provide magnesium

I suggest that you always try to get your nutrients from your foods first, but if that is not enough, get with your health care provider, to find the right amount of supplement.

This is just a tidbit of information that is out there...it is up to you to do the rest.

In closing, I ask that, when it comes to you and your families health...please be PRO- ACTIVE

...YOU TOO CAN HAVE JOYFUL ENERGY, WHEN YOU PROVIDE YOUR BODY AND MIND WITH  WHAT IT NEEDS.

In Love and Light,
