Magnesium the Missing Link in Back Pain
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body. It is essential for life and deficiency is implicated in a plethora of health problems.
Magnesium is no longer as plentiful in the foods we eat due to depletion in the soils as a consequence of modern intensive farming practice.
Magnesium regulates more than 325 enzymes in the body, the most important, produce, transport, store and utilise energy.
Magnesium is essential for proper muscle function. Deficiency can lead to muscle spasm and pain. It is nature’s muscle relaxant as it acts as a calcium channel blocker to prevent over contraction of both skeletal and smooth muscles.
Skeletal muscle spasm causes back pain, neck pain, headaches and many more painful conditions. Smooth muscle spasm can cause migraines, strokes and heart problems by disrupting blood flow.
Optimising magnesium levels is also vital to reduce the risk of a many other serious conditions, including:
Anxiety and panic attacks Asthma Blood clots Bowel disease Cystitis Depression Detoxification Diabetes Fatigue Heart disease Hypertension Nerve pain Obstetrical and gynaecological problems Osteoporosis Raynaud’s Syndrome Tooth decay
