It literally assists in turning the switch to the energy process in the cell to convert food to the usable fuel without it, all the functions are more difficult.Stated differently, magnesium deficiency is usually experienced as chronic fatigue. Indeed, medical sources cite constant fatigue, muscle weakness and overall fatigue with the first in the list of the primary symptoms of low magnesium.Due to the deficiency of magnesium in the body, the mitochondria (the power plants of the cell) is not able to fire, thus even when you have slept, you may still feel tired. Storing magnesium aids in maintaining the charge of your body batteries and to restore your body energy fast after exercise.The Silent Magnesium DrainThe problem of magnesium deficiency is too widespread since our hectic lifestyles drain magnesium unknowingly. Refined and processed foods as well as white-flour staples have been deprived of their nutrient-rich layers and the little magnesium they had.Meanwhile, everyday stressors from chronic anxiety to excess caffeine, alcohol or even sweating in hot gyms increase magnesium excretion . Over time, this leakage means many people slowly slide into a deficit. The signs can be subtle at first, but if you notice any of the following, it's wise to check your magnesium (and your diet):· Muscle cramps or twitching eyelids· Restless sleep or frequent night awakenings· Persistent fatigue even after enough sleep· Frequent headaches or migraines· Tingling or numbness in hands and feet· Unexplained anxiety or low moodWinding It Up!Addressing even mild deficiency can make a big difference. Replacing more magnesium dense options (leafy greens, nuts, seeds, beans and whole grains) and decreasing processed foods helps rebuild reserves. In short, today's lifestyle often robs us of this essential mineral, but being aware of the drain is the first step to reversing it.
