Increasing your Magnesium
Levels Can
Help Prevent Allergy and Asthma Attacks
Most people are deficient
in magnesium due to the refining of foods... find out how increasing your
daily intake of this important mineral can make a big difference to your
overall heath and also prevent allergies and asthma.
Magnesium is a trace mineral
that is required for not just building strong bones but for the proper
functioning of our entire bodies.
"Magnesium is not limited to improving bone health. There are some three
hundred bodily enzymes that require magnesium, which suggests that magnesium
is vital for most cells and tissues of the body." - from American
Chiropractic.
Studies show that insufficient magnesium levels not only can cause asthma
and allergies, but also muscle cramps, muscle twitching, muscle weakness as
well as muscle aches, TMJ disorders, depression, insomnia, osteoporosis,
attention deficit disorder, fibromyalgia, diabetes, mitral valve prolapse,
migraines, attention deficit disorder, noise sensitivity and nervousness
among several other conditions.
Today's refined food simply doesn't contain enough magnesium and foods that
do contain it lose it through the cooking process. Even if you are
purposefully eating raw foods daily that are rich in magnesium, consuming
coffee, alcohol, soda or soft drinks and salt will result in a loss of this
mineral. Foods that contain magnesium are cereals, nuts, green vegetables,
and dairy products. However, according to an article in The Lancet by
Britton et al. Magnesium deficiency is surprisingly common. In one study 65%
of an intensive care population and 11% of an outpatient population suffered
from magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is used pharmacologically in acute
myocardial infarction (heart attack) angina, (chest pains) cardiac
arrhythmias, (irregular heart beat) alcohol withdrawal, and pre-eclampsia
(high blood pressure during pregnancy). It has been used to treat acute
asthma, plus magnesium may also help prevent asthma. (Britton J et al.
Lancet. 1994; 344: 357-361. McLean RM. Am J Med. 1994; 96: 63-76.)
Maintaining proper levels of magnesium in the body helps by relaxing airway
smooth muscle and dilating bronchioles in the lungs. It also reduces
histamine release and inflammation of the airways and lungs by stabilizing
mast cells and T- lymphocytes. Studies like the one in The Lancet showed
that increasing magnesium intake helped to reduce and even prevent allergy
and asthma symptoms. Taking a good magnesium citrate supplement, which is
easily absorbed is important. Recommended daily dosages vary from 500 mg to
1000 mg if you have a substantial deficiency, but be aware that a dose of
1000 mg of magnesium will cause a loose stool. It is best not to take it
after a meal since it neutralizes stomach acids, which would interfere with
digestion. It is best to consult a naturopathic doctor or nutritionist for
advice and testing to determine your individual needs. Trace mineral
deficiencies can be determined through a tissue mineral analysis using a
stand of your hair at a medical lab.
