Nutrition Comes From Natural Sources

By Lydia Peru

Great things come from our deep blue seas. Magnesium, for example, is derived from ocean supplies of minerals. Little did we know that dipping our toes in the water was not just refreshing, it was nourishing as well.

Most of us dont live near the beach though, and cannot take the time out of our busy schedule for that natural foot bath, but we can pull out a bottle of Transderma magnesium oil after the shower and reap the benefits of the elements contained in the ocean.

Nutrition is a hot topic, but one that is full of confusion. When we think about what we eat we have to consider that its a two way street. Food nourishes, but it also takes vitamins and minerals to process those foods. That fast food diet, or that home cooked fried chicken may take more than it gives us. Visit any federally funded health site, and you will likely find data that shows that we are deficient in magnesium.

We really have two ways we keep magnesium in the body. About half our magnesium is stored in our bones, along with calcium and other minerals. Great, we want to maintain that storage for future use. Then we have our blood. Were going to find only about 1 percent of our magnesium in the bloodstream.

If we are deficient, and challenged in our diets to get the nutrients we need, what can we do? Magnesium can actually be absorbed through your skin, or transdermally. You can take a transdermal magnesium bath, using a form of magnesium crystals that is processed for easy absorption, or use a gel or oil.

When our magnesium levels are too long in the body, especially over a duration of time, the effects can show up in many ways: depression, tiredness, chronic pain or fatigue, joint pain, and many more signs of deficiency. A great non-invasive way to counterbalance is to use a magnesium bath. You may sleep better, feel more relaxed, think more clearly.

We named a few symptoms that can be associated with a mineral magnesium deficiency. There are actually over 300 biochemical actions in the human body that are dependent on magnesium. Over 300, that really makes me wonder. Perhaps we need to focus on the basic building blocks in life, such as our mineral balance in the body. - 17273
