That Magnesium Really Gets Under My Skin

By Lydia Peru

Many good things come from our oceans. Magnesium salts are derived from the ocean, a powerful source of many nutrients. You know how good it feels to walk along the beach, feeling the waves as they glide across your feet. Hey, dont tell the kids, that fun time playing in the waves is actually nutritious!

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.

We get all of our nutrients, vitamins and minerals, from our earth, mostly through our foods. Its been shown though that our diets are poor, and the foods we eat have fewer nutrients than they did 50 years ago. Many of us do not get the magnesium we need in our diet.

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. - 17274
