Almost ten years ago, Dr. Mark Hymen wrote, “I find it very funny that more doctors aren’t clued to Magnesium’s benefits because we use it in conventional medicine. But we never stop to think about why or how important it is to our general health or why it helps our bodies function better.” Magnesium is to humans as oil is to a properly functioning car.
Magnesium deficiency causes a lot of pain and suffering, so we do not want to be ignorant. Uncountable millions have died of cardiac arrest over the last few decades because cardiologists do not prescribe Magnesium. Surgery is also made safer with Magnesium. Life is safer and more prolonged if one has enough Magnesium in the cells and the blood.
Low serum and intracellular magnesium concentrations are associated with insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, and decreased insulin secretion. Magnesium improves insulin sensitivity, thus lowering insulin resistance. Magnesium and insulin need each other.
Without Magnesium, our pancreas won’t secrete enough insulin–or the insulin it secretes won’t be efficient enough–to control our blood sugar. Insulin resistance and magnesium depletion result in a vicious cycle of worsening insulin resistance and a decrease in intracellular Mg(2+).
It does not take much to convince people that Magnesium is a significant and vital mineral. There is no equal for Magnesium, certainly no substitute. The more you consume between diet and heavy supplementation, the longer you will live. It is as simple as that.
Imagine changing the oil in your car every one thousand miles. It is just going to last longer. But with our bodies, it is best if we top off our magnesium levels every day.
