What do you know about magnesium deficiency?
Hypomagnesemia, commonly known as magnesium deficiency, is typically an overlooked health problem many people suffer from. According to experts, around 2–25% of Americans suffer from magnesium deficiency, and symptoms can affect both their physical and mental health.
Unfortunately, many patients don’t even know about it because a lack of this nutrient might be underdiagnosed until levels become extremely low. This problem can lead to different health issues, such as chronic diarrhea, diabetes, celiac disease, and poor absorption. Doctors say that people with alcohol use disorders are more likely to experience symptoms.
But until we talk about all the signs you suffer from magnesium deficiency, we must discuss why this nutrient is so important for your mind and body. Magnesium is a mineral that improves bone health and blood sugar regulation, keeps anxiety and depression under control, regulates muscle contraction and migraines, helps you sleep better and have more energy, can improve your cardiovascular system, boosts exercise performance, and supports mental health.
Now that you know that this mineral improves your life daily, let’s talk about all the signs you might have magnesium deficiency:
