Yeah. You probably would say that I am being naggy again to harp on the importance of Magnesium again. Well you are right! Anyway, it was because I have borrow this book “The Health Detective’s” from the Woodland Library (written by Nan Kathryn Fuchs, Ph. D) and it seemed to confirm those things that I have been telling others about the marvel of this essential mineral.
However, to make things simple (as compared to my earlier postings),
Do take Magnesium if you want:
a. A restful sleep (since it helps to regulate heart beat)
b. A performance edge in endurance run (like marathon) since the the current isotonic is (purposely) missing this performance addition to keep the masses from maybe achieving peak performance.
c. Prevent osteoporosis (as it makes bones flexible as compared to calcium that makes bones brittle)
d. Prevent arteriosclerosis (since it removes excess calcium in blood stream from depositing onto the arterial walls and the narrowing would lead to hypertension itself)
e. Prevent child birth delivery deaths since the poor mothers are usually in a edema (water retentive) state with hypertension. The long contraction period in deliveries are like running a full marathon on ends. Maganesium sulphate were used long ago but superceded by “new” medicines that actually are expensive and does nothing really.
f. Higher survival rate in the event of a heart attack. (As written in Nan Kathryn Fuchs’, Ph. D book, she quote a magnesium expert who suggested having immediate intravenous magnesium for those whilst still on the ambulance on their way to hospital). I think it should be done immediately for those who collapse during arduous runs possible from water retention and brain edema.
g. Prevent heat stroke death, since magnesium regulate heart beat and prevent brain edema as stated above. At least the person would survive and not be in a vegetative state if the brain is not bloated.
Okay, so do not go running out now for your magnesium tablets. I have actually brought a bottle of just magnesium only from GNC store. However, my qualms is that why is it the GNC people have to purposely include a pill (tablet) whitener, like Titanium Dioxide just to make the pill looks WHITE! Are we overly obsessive with being white. Does white equate to pureness? I am confused. Titanium dioxide had also recently been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as an IARC Group 2B carcinogen possibly carcinogen to humans. It had been test carcinogenic on animals. I think that there are many tablet out in the pharmacies including government hospitals that are coated with titanium dioxide to make the tablets looks nice. For what? I would be writing to GNC to get some answer. Not sure if I had written to them earlier or that I had gotten any reply.
Anyway, I am now getting my magnesium supplement from another brand “Nature Essense” that is in the combination of Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium, Zinc, Boron and Vitamin D. Seemed pretty good but could have been better if the calcium were omitted. Why? Well, since we are either easily getting calcium from our diet, as evident in the bountiful of people with arteriosclerosis, of that the calcium are not finding their ways to the bones. But first thing first, we should be taking the magnesium to offset, I mean to remove the excess calcium in the blood from depositing on the arterial walls. Anyway people are getting smarter nowadays and are taking calcium scoring medical screening to pre-empt if indeed there are too much calcium are residing in the blood stream rather than where they are needed. In the bones.
By the way, do read my earlier post on the importance of having enough muscle to lift your frail skeleton frame as you age. Strong bones means nothing if you do not have the muscle that goes wasted if not worked upon. (Marathon, muscle atrophy and sarcopenia)
Cheers!
Have a good night sleep. Counting sheeps do not really help. Try magnesium instead. You may have been working or training too hard and lack this essential mineral to prevent irregular heartbeat (Cardiac arrhythmia).

Addendum:

To maintain cerebral vasculature, thus lowering the risk of a cerebral aneurysm or hemorrhagic stroke, the following supplements should be considered:
Magnesium, 1500 mg daily.
Arginine, 4-5 grams daily.
Calcium, 1000 mg daily.
Grape-seed skin extract, two 200-mg capsules daily.
To enhance vasodilation and improve the health of vessels, consider the following:
Potassium, 500 mg daily.
Hydergine, 5-20 mg daily. (Hydergine may be obtained by prescription or from offshore pharmacies.)
Antioxidants scavenge free radicals and protect against underlying factors that lead to cerebral vascular disease:
Vitamin E containing tocopherols and toco – trienols provide the most broad spectrum protection, 1-2 softgels daily of Gamma E Tocopherol/Tocotrienols. (Provides 210 mg of gamma – tocopherol and full spectrum tocotrienols.)
Vitamin C, 2000-5000 mg daily.
