It may be the most beneficial nutrient you’re never heard about: magnesium. Past studies have shown it combats everything from heart health to osteoporosis, stroke, memory loss, and depression.
But the latest research adds yet another benefit to magnesium’s greatest hits list — diabetes. A new analysis of studies published in the Journal of Human Nutrition & Food Science reveals dietary magnesium intake combats diabetes and related conditions, such as metabolic syndrome, obesity, high blood pressure, and cholesterol.
The fact that magnesium is inexpensive and readily available is prompting many health experts to call it a medical marvel — even though most people have never heard about its many benefits and doctors are often unable to tell if their patients are at risk of magnesium deficiency.
“It affects every organ, tissue and cell in the body,” says Carolyn Dean, M.D., author of “The Magnesium Miracle” and a Hawaii-based physician and holistic medicine specialist. “Magnesium deficiency is killing people and it's a simple solution to many of our chronic diseases.”
The standard American diet fails to meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s recommended daily allowance of magnesium – of 400-420 milligrams per day for men; 310-320 for women — federal government studies show.
Dr. Dean believes health officials and the mainstream medical establishment need to do more to raise public awareness of magnesium’s many benefits.
