All human tissues contain little amounts of magnesium. Next to
potassium, magnesium is the chief metallic action in living cells.
Magnesium helps one keep calm and cool during the sweltering summer
months. It aids in keeping nerves relaxed and generally balanced. It is
essential for all muscular activity. This mineral is in activator for
most of the enzyme system involving carbohydrate, fat and protein in
energy producing reactions. Magnesium helps prevent calcium deposits in
kidneys and gallstones and also brings relief from indigestion.
Magnesium is widely distributed in nuts, almonds, whole grains,
soyabeans, lemons, peaches, brown rice, alfalfa,
apples, figs, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds. Deficiency can lead to
heart attack, epileptic seizures, nervous irritability, kidney damage
and kidney stones, muscle cramps, arteriosclerosis, marked depression
and confusion, impaired protein metabolism and premature wrinkles.
