Dietary Supplements - Calcium & Magnesium

from: ElmerFizz





Many 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.
