Nutrition Comes From Natural Sources

By Lydia Peru

I love the ocean. Many wonderful things are found in the waters of the world, including many minerals that we are dependent on for good health. Magnesium, for example, is one of the salts contained in our deep blue seas.

Sure that little trip to the beach is fun but not always reasonable, especially for the bulk of our population that live an hour or even a days drive from the beach. We can bring the goodness of the ocean to us with a relaxing foot soak or bath using Transderma Magnesium crystals, giving us that natural type of magnesium lift that soothes and replenishes.

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.

Studies have been conducted by many medical facilities into magnesium levels and many health issues. It turns out that magnesium deficiency is more commonplace than we would have thought. According to the National Institute we store 50 percent of our magnesium in our bones. Only about 1 percent is in our blood, and apparently our system works very hard to maintain that level.

So then what can we do, individually, to address this magnesium deficiency? Well, if you have issues with your digestion from too many antibiotics as a child, or too acidic a diet, you may have trouble assimilating the nutrients in your food. There is another means of introducing more magnesium in your diet, and that is through your skin. Not a shot, no we will leave that to the doctors. Magnesium can be absorbed through gel, oil, or a bath.

When our magnesium levels are too low 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.

There are over 300 biochemical actions in our body that need magnesium. That sounds pretty darn important to me. According to this same medical authority there is concern about continued sub-levels of magnesium in a large part of our population. Perhaps we should go back to basics, such as basic nutrition through the elements of life. - 17273
