Magnesium is essential for enzyme activity, calcium and potassium uptake, nerve
transmission, bone formation, and metabolism of carbohydrates and minerals. It
also assists in the regulation of acid-alkaline balance in the body. High
magnesium levels in drinking water have been linked to resistance to heart
disease. While it is naturally abundant in a variety of foods, including dairy,
nuts, vegetables, fish, meat and seafood, deficiencies are common due to soil
depletion, poor absorption and lack of minerals in drinking water. An excellent
source of magnesium is beef, chicken or fish broth. Magnesium deficiency can
result in coronary heart disease, chronic weight loss, obesity, fatigue,
epilepsy and impaired brain function. Chocolate cravings can be a sign of
magnesium deficiency.
