now i wanted to do this video on

magnesium because it relates to another

topic that i’m studying now on

chlorophyll which is the green stuff or

the blood of the plant when a plant is

deficient in chlorophyll the leaves turn

yellow and one cause of that is a

magnesium deficiency chlorophyll being

the blood of the plant

is similar in chemistry to our own blood

yet we have iron to make it red plants

have magnesium to make the leaves green

so we can have chlorosis in plants which

could be a magnesium deficiency as well

as chlorosis in humans

which is anemia where a person can

actually

look a little green and magnesium is a

very very important mineral it’s in hard

water okay you have calcium and

magnesium it’s in a very absorbable form

it’s in bicarbonate okay when you heat

water

those bicarbonates turn into a carbonate

form which makes them absorb less in our

bodies and you would see it when you

make your tea when you heat your water

you’ll see these white little specks at

the bottom of the pot so our bodies do

absorb these bicarbonates

very easily so hard water

mineral water great source of magnesium

as well as calcium and of course when

you soften the water you take out these

minerals so there’s some really

interesting studies that show that hard

water is actually very very good

for your cardiovascular system and soft

water is not now one little side note

about

that condition called chlorosis in

plants one way to develop this condition

is to over water the plants because all

these minerals can leach out

same thing happens when we drink too

much water especially without minerals

we dilute the minerals we have in our

body and that creates all sorts of

issues with our heart with our nerves

and muscles however if you if you’re not

drinking hard water or

mineral water get your magnesium from

leafy greens

of course an average person only

consumes like one and a half cups of

vegetables per day but you definitely

want to beef that up

i want to talk about some very

surprising

symptoms

and

unique benefits of magnesium okay number

one magnesium relieves muscle tightness

we know that magnesium deficiencies will

create cramps of the muscles but if you

have tight muscles which is different

than a cramped muscle that can be a

magnesium deficiency number two

magnesium is intimately involved in

making atp that’s the energy currency of

the body so your energy level is

dependent on magnesium if you don’t have

enough you’re going to be kind of tired

all the time all right number three

magnesium helps vitamin d’s

bioavailability

you need magnesium to allow vitamin d to

work so if you’re deficient in magnesium

you can take all this vitamin d and it

doesn’t seem to work and as a side note

if you want a really good form of

magnesium

i’m going to put a link down below as

well as a good source of vitamin d with

magnesium i’ll put that link down below

too all right number four

magnesium prevents calcium

from depositing in the wrong places in

your body so it works similar to vitamin

k2 all right number five magnesium

relieves migraines number six

having enough magnesium will support

your friendly bacteria if someone is

magnesium deficient like

two-thirds of the world’s population

that can negatively affect the

microbiome the friendly bacteria all

right number seven with enough magnesium

you can avoid having pins and needles

and numbness that type of thing either

in your lips your fingers or the bottom

of your feet which is called paresthesia

and number eight

let’s say your cortisol is high and that

affects your sleep patterns

magnesium can help so magnesium is very

important in the regulation of cortisol

so excessive cortisol symptoms

could be a magnesium deficiency

this is why magnesium helps people with

stress and number nine having enough

magnesium will keep your parathyroid

functioning at its optimum level the

parathyroid hormone helps to regulate

calcium so if you’re low in calcium

the parathyroid hormone will increase to

help elevate calcium well guess what if

you’re deficient in magnesium the

parathyroid hormone will also increase

to help you retain more magnesium so any

symptoms where you have high parathyroid

hormone could be

a magnesium deficiency all right and so

the question is how do you become

deficient in magnesium well you don’t

need enough leafy greens number one

fluoride consumption in tap water

can create a magnesium deficiency

fluoride medications can also do it

refined grains refined sugars will

create a deficiency low hydrochloric

acid in your stomach can create a

problem stress will do it being a

diabetic can create a deficiency this is

why magnesium is so important to

stabilize your blood sugars

alcohol can create a deficiency and if

you have a malabsorption of your gut

okay

now there’s quite a few medications that

can also create a deficiency of

magnesium um diuretics ppis or antacids

statins antibiotics as well as birth

control pills now if you haven’t seen

this video on magnesium this is a very

very important one check it out i put it

right here
