The professor says, magnesium deficiency is a big problem that residents of large cities suffer from, because they are always exposed to external influences. If a person suffers from chronic stress, his need for magnesium increases by 1.5-2 times.
And he adds, the pressure in our bodies regulates a group of systems, and affects the amount of microelements in the blood, such as sodium, calcium and magnesium. If the level of magnesium is low, it leads to an increase in the level of sodium and calcium, and thus fluid retention (it is also known as Water retention that occurs in the circulatory system or within tissues and cavities. It can cause swelling in the hands, feet, ankles and legs) in the body, and high blood pressure. And frequent migraines caused by a lack of magnesium. Irritability, memory disturbance, inability to focus on a topic, and mood changes are also caused by a magnesium deficiency.
The professor notes that physical activity increases the consumption of magnesium, and excessive salt intake impedes the absorption of magnesium. Therefore, salt consumption must be reduced. He added, the body's immunity decreases because of depression and bad mood, which increases the risk of getting cold diseases. Magnesium deficiency is one of the main causes of chronic fatigue syndrome.
It should be noted, that the normal level of magnesium in the blood of women is 0.66-1.07 mmol / liter, and if it is below or higher, consult a doctor. Women need 310 milligrams a day of magnesium, and men need 400 milligrams. The most important sources of magnesium are: plant-based food products - dietary fiber, nuts, buckwheat, and leafy greens.
And the professor adds, coffee is a weak diuretic(causing increased passing of urine), yet magnesium is excreted from the body, so it is better to consume cocoa.
The professor stresses that compensating for the lack of magnesium in the body by taking medicines must be done according to the directions and prescription of the specialist in light of the results of blood analysis only.
