Magnesium is found in all body tissues and is necessary for the normal functioning of cells. He participates in most metabolic reactions, in particular, in the regulation of transmission of nerve impulses and muscle contraction. The need for this mineral increases significantly during physical exertion, stress, in a hot climate, during pregnancy and lactation, when visiting a bathhouse, unbalanced diets, alcohol abuse and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Magnesium is the guardian of beauty
This macrocell "works" for our beauty from the inside. Magnesium deficiency can negatively affect the synthesis of collagen, which is responsible for the density and strength of connective tissue. An unsatisfactory condition of the skin, hair and nails can also be one of the first signs of magnesium deficiency.
Magnesium Against Stress
Few people know that the cause of irritability, sleep disturbance, fatigue can be a deficiency of magnesium in the body. This mineral is involved in the regulation of transmission of nerve impulses, and its deficiency can lead to increased excitability.At the same time, stress, which is a frequent companion of our lives, can cause magnesium depletion. Thus, there is an interdependent process between stress and magnesium, so it is important not to forget to maintain a normal level of this mineral.
Reproductive function and magnesium
One of the key roles magnesium plays in the reproductive function of the female body. To ensure a successful pregnancy, the normal level of magnesium in the body of the expectant mother is important. This is due to the fact that this mineral is necessary for the full growth and development of the fetus, protein synthesis and tissue construction. In addition, maintaining the necessary level of magnesium, you can significantly reduce the undesirable symptoms of PMS (edema, headaches, irritability, mood changes, fatigue and weight fluctuations).
How to avoid magnesium deficiency in the body?
The daily requirement of magnesium recommended in Russia is 400 mg for women and men. For pregnant and lactating women - 450 mg. This important trace element in the body is not produced, so the whole daily dose should come from food and drinking water. Fish and green leaves (spinach, green onions, cabbage) are especially rich in magnesium. A lot of magnesium is found in nuts, in natural dark chocolate, but nuts and chocolate are high-calorie foods, so they are not suitable for daily consumption. But even a varied and proper diet can not always provide the necessary need for magnesium.In this case, it is necessary to consult a doctor who will recommend what drugs can be taken to make up for the deficiency of magnesium in the body. As a rule, these drugs include magnesium and vitamin B6, the latter improves the absorption of the trace element from the digestive tract and its penetration into the body cells, for example, Magne B6 Forte.
