So this video is on magnesium and why you're going to feel a lot better if you get enough

from your diet. And if you go to the doctor and you get a blood test and your magnesium

deficient, it's not going to show up because 99% of that magnesium is inside the cell,

not outside the cell in your blood. So just because it comes out normal doesn't mean

you're not deficient. There's something called a subclinical deficiency where you might

be getting enough to run the basic machinery of the body, but you're not getting the full

amount to run all of the functions. And as far as magnesium, there are over 300 enzymes

involved in many different biochemical reactions that require magnesium. So out of all the

minerals, magnesium is the second most important to potassium. Why? Well, simply because you

need a lot of potassium. Ideally, you need 300 to 400 milligrams. Now, potassium, you need

like 47, 100 milligrams. That's 4,700 milligrams every single day. So obviously with magnesium,

you need much less. But if we compare these minerals to all the other ones, you need both

of these in pretty large quantities. 90% of all the magnesium is located in the muscle

and the bone. And I did mention this before, but 99% of all this magnesium is inside the

cell, not outside the cell. So if you're deficient, you may have bone problems like osteopenia,

eventually osteoporosis. You can have a lot of muscle cramps, weak muscles, and also realize

that certain parts of the vascular system have a type of muscle as well. So if you're losing

magnesium, your muscles can get stiff and you're going to get high blood pressure from that.

Another really key function of magnesium is maintaining electrical charge in your cells.

So without magnesium, the electrical system shuts down and you just don't have enough energy

to run the muscles or the nervous system. So magnesium is really important in keeping sodium

outside the cell, keeping sodium low inside the cell, and keeping calcium low inside the
