hey guys today we’re gonna talk about

magnesium a very interesting mineral

there’s a lot to know about it I’m just

gonna take from the top magnesium is a

cofactor

okay what’s the cofactor it’s a helper

element involved in the activation of

certain enzymes there’s actually 300

enzymes that magnesium is involved with

and the one that I’m going to talk about

is involved in the mitochondria and it

has to do with producing energy without

getting too technical that’s called the

krebs cycle maybe you took biology in

high school and you learn about the

krebs cycle very very simply it’s the

combination of fuel or glucose if you’re

gonna use glucose or there’s other fuels

to plus oxygen so the biochemistry might

appear to be very complex but if you

think about a carburetor what is the

carburetor it’s basically a device in

your car or your lawnmower that is

mixing a drop of fuel with oxygen in the

right ratios to then ignite through a

little spark plug to produce energy

right well you have the same thing

happening in the Mount of Kandra but the

spark plug that activates the enzyme

that ignites this combination of fuel

and oxygen is magnesium and vitamin b1

okay I mean there’s other other

nutrients as well but those two are the

big ones so if you don’t have enough

magnesium your body you’re gonna suffer

from low energy you’re gonna have to

teak there’s other things too that you

might experience inability to relax so

magnesium helps muscles relax calms down

nerves slows the rate of nerve impulses

and it’s really important in heart

physiology if you don’t have enough

magnesium you get cramps in the CAF’s

you get spasms you you muscles become

very very tight you might even develop

something called natural fibrillation

now that could also be a potassium

mineral another similar mineral that has

similar functions but atrial

fibrillation is part of the heart and

stimulating it’s not in rhythm and it’s

kind of quivering and that could be

there magnesium deficiency or a

potassium deficiency you can get

constipation well you have muscles

around the colon you have this pumping

action called peristalsis so if you

don’t have enough Magne

everything kind of backs up and it

doesn’t work it’s kind of like your

whole colon becomes very very tight and

you might be bloated and you get

constipated and because the muscles

aren’t relaxing your blood pressure goes

up if you can’t relax you’re gonna have

insomnia you’re not gonna be able to

sleep you’re gonna have heart rhythm

problems in palpitation possibly chronic

back pain a lot of times the muscles are

just very very very tight they’re in a

spasm and it’s going to pinch around the

nerve migraines so you can see that

magnesium deficiencies can create a lot

of problems

you also need vitamin D to help absorb

magnesium so a lot of times people

associated by them indeed just with

calcium absorption but you also need it

for magnesium magnesium and calcium also

are needed so in other words if you have

too much or too little calcium that’s

gonna affect the amount of magnesium

that you are going to be able to utilize

and absorb insulin resistance is a

situation where you have insulin doesn’t

connect with the cell that well the

receptor is like blocking it so we have

a resistance which by the way always

will increase the amount of insulin

because you have the feedback loops

aren’t connecting so the body feels that

it’s not going in so it produces more so

insulin resistance is a situation we

have too much insulin and it’s just

blocked well when you have in some

resistance you can’t absorb magnesium

and other minerals as well now by taking

more magnesium you can improve insulin

resistance you can increase the

sensitivity of insulin and make insulin

work better and also by taking magnesium

you can help the absorption of potassium

so you can see there’s a lot of

relationship between vitamins and

minerals and hormones they all work

together okay so where do you get

magnesium okay well one of the best

places are foods that are high in

chlorophyll okay chlorophyll is like the

blood of the plant the chemistry of

chlorophyll is very similar to your own

blood but your blood has iron as its

main mineral and chlorophyll has

magnesium so you want to consume a lot

more leafy greens to get your magnesium

but the cool thing is you’re going to

also get the potassium you’re going to

get calcium and your vitamins as well

and so nuts and seeds and as a

side point the quantity of leafy greens

you would need would be roughly around

seven cups to eight cups or even up to

ten cups per day to get your minimum

amounts of magnesium but that way you’ll

get your potassium as well alright well

thanks for watching hey guys so there’s

a whole bunch of people that really need

this information so press the share

button and let’s get it way out there
