The Need For Proper Nutrition Recent studies reveal that prevention through health maintenance is the key to enjoying a healthier lifestyle. However, health challenges today are at an all-time high. The need for proper nutrition has never been greater. Consider these critical facts:
Studies also reveal that 35% to 60% of all cancers and heart disease developed as a result of improper nutrition and could have been prevented. People are searching for answers on ways to improve and maintain their health. Exercise and a nutritionally balanced diet can help, but even our food supply is not what it used to be. In fact, over the last 50 years, our food supply has lost as much as 75% of the micro-nutrients available to nourish the body due to commercial over-harvest. As a result, consumers are turning to vitamin and mineral supplements. The U.S. nutrition industry generated $25.8 billion in consumer sales in 1998, a 10 percent gain over 1997, according to Nutrition Business Journal in San Diego. How Important is Magnesium in Your Diet? Did you know that magnesium is a mineral needed by every cell of your body. About half of your body's magnesium stores are found inside cells of body tissues and organs, and half are combined with calcium and phosphorus in bones. Only 1 percent of the magnesium in your body is found in blood. Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, and bones strong. It is also involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. Green vegetables, like spinach, provide magnesium. Also nuts, seeds and some whole grains are good sources of magnesium. Although magnesium is present in many foods, it usually occurs in small amounts. For example, whole-wheat bread has twice as much magnesium as white bread because the magnesium-rich germ and bran are removed when white flour is processed. Water can provide magnesium, but amounts can vary according to the water supply -- hard water contains more magnesium than soft water. Like most nutrients, the daily needs for magnesium can not met from a single food. Current Issues About Magnesium.... Evidence suggests that magnesium may play an important role in regulating blood pressure. The evidence is strong enough that the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure recommends maintaining an adequate magnesium intake as a positive lifestyle modification for preventing and managing high blood pressure. There is also evidence that low body stores of magnesium increase the risk of abnormal heart rhythms, which may increase the risk of complications associated with a heart attack. In addition, dietary surveys have suggested that a higher magnesium intake is associated with a lower risk of stroke. Need Extra Magnesium...... The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) that is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of individuals is as follow:
If you need extra magnesium in your diet, try Re-Vita's Plus Bones & Joints Formula. You receive 500 mg of magnesium per 3 tablets.
