Magnesium must be bound to something else for the body to ingest and digest it. Nor do they contain appropriate bioavailable forms that your body can easily absorb. They don’t contain the right amounts of magnesium. Not all magnesium works the sameįirst and foremost, avoid the ridiculous “once-a-day” pills that purport to have everything, but do virtually nothing for you. And if you’re not well-informed, some supplements can even cause serious harm. So, for most people, I recommend magnesium supplementation.īut you have to be careful when choosing a magnesium supplement, as not all forms work the same way. For example, blood levels may not show deficiency, even when you do have one in your cells and tissues. But it also makes it very hard to detect a deficiency. This storage mechanism helps the body carefully regulate magnesium levels in the blood. Of course, your bones store large amounts of magnesium (and calcium). Secondly, Americans consume far more processed foods instead of getting important nutrients from fresh foods. In fact, according to some estimates, up to 80 percent of Americans do not get enough magnesium.įor one, fruits and vegetables that once had higher levels of bioavailable nutrients and minerals no longer do because of ongoing depletion of nutrients in the soil. Doctors inject it directly into the blood, or the heart itself, during an acute heart event.īut many Americans are deficient. This often-overlooked nutrient is just as important as calcium for bones and muscles (including the heart). Just like an egg must include all the nutrients a chick needs to develop and hatch, a nut must contain all the nutrients a plant needs to sprout and grow. They’re the plant world’s equivalent of an egg. More broadly, nuts are like Nature’s original dietary supplements. As I explained, nuts have a healthy ratio of lower omega-6 to higher omega-3 fatty acids. Yesterday, I reported on the importance of keeping nuts in your diet, despite what the government warned for decades.
