Over 40% of the population is deficient in magnesium.

You're about to find out that a magnesium deficiency can create huge problems for your health.

The influence of magnesium in your heart, if you're deficient, you can end up with high blood pressure.

Magnesium has everything to do with the relaxation of arteries, muscles, smooth muscles.

So if you're deficient in magnesium, you're going to have a little more calcium

and your arteries are going to get rigid and you'll have a tendency to have high blood pressure.

Another common problem with the heart is arrhythmias, okay?

The pacemaker of your heart is neurological, but it connects to the muscle.

And you actually have four pacemakers, which are little cells that have this rhythmic beat into the heart,

but that pacemaker is mostly dependent on the electrolyte magnesium.

And because magnesium is involved with nerve and muscle,

you can end up with tetany or twitching or any type of abnormal relaxation or contraction of a muscle.

And this is why the number one cause of a leg cramp or a foot cramp is a magnesium deficiency.

Magnesium doesn't just have to do with muscles though or nerves.

It's involved in over 350 different enzyme or biochemical pathways, some involving the production of energy.

That's why the number one sign of a magnesium deficiency is fatigue,

because if you don't have magnesium, you can't make energy.

You also have magnesium influence over insulin.

For example, if you're deficient, you're way more at risk of getting diabetes and developing insulin or resistance.

And so if you have insulin resistance or you're pre-diabetic or a diabetic,

you must make sure that you have enough magnesium to fix that.

Even your mood is influenced by magnesium.
