Dietary Supplements - Calcium & Magnesium
from: ElmerFizzMany health care professionals don't see the need for
supplements of vitamins and minerals, but it is possible to
become deficient in these building blocks for the human body
when we are under the stress of illness, pregnancy or aging.
Children can often eat junk foods to excess and miss out on
their daily nutritional requirements. The unborn child makes
heavy nutritional demands on the mother, while those in the
older age bracket often find their stomach doesn't absorb
nutrients like it should.
Adolescents and young adults often have stress of an emotional
kind with school exams and late hours for whatever reason.
Mothers of young children rarely have a moment to call their own
so their bodies are under constant stress and often they have to
cope with sleep deprivation too. Sometimes we can go for years
feeling overtired or with other minor problems without realizing
that they could be alleviated by the addition of certain dietary
supplements.
Cramps in the lower limbs, restless leg syndrome and
sleeplessness are all eased by the addition of calcium and
magnesium to the diet. Magnesium is more easily absorbed by the
body in the form of dolomite, or with the addition of calcium.
People who are too busy to eat properly, nursing or pregnant
mothers and children who refuse milk and are picky eaters should
all take calcium supplements. Children need lots of calcium to
build strong bones and teeth that will serve them faithfully for
the rest of their lives.
Calcium taken by the older age group will help to prevent
osteoporosis, a disease that causes bones to become brittle and
honeycombed. Fractures and broken bones in old age take so long
to heal that the unfortunate victim sometimes never recovers
fully from the results of a fall. It makes sense to prevent the
problem rather than wait until it happens, to do something about
it. Why not have a bone density scan to see if you are at risk
of osteoporosis?
Magnesium helps to support a strong immune system and maintains
normal muscle and nerve function. It is also known to be
involved in every metabolism and protein synthesis and is needed
for over three hundred biochemical reactions in the body, so it
is very important.
One of the benefits of magnesium is its muscle relaxing
properties. The heart is a muscle and high blood pressure is
often caused by the heart not relaxing sufficiently on its
outward (diastolic) beat. There is increasing interest in the
role magnesium can play in managing hypertension and
cardiovascular disease.
If irritable bowel syndrome is the problem, a magnesium
supplement will help to reduce the cramping of the intestine by
relaxing it. Add a little peppermint oil in a chelated capsule
to aid in the removal of painful flatulence and gas build-up and
the two main symptoms of this disease are disposed of or reduced
significantly.
If you are taking prescription medication, always consult your
health care professional before taking supplements.
