One second everything is fine and suddenly an annoying muscle cramp comes out of nowhere. A stupid thing that everyone has probably experienced at some point. The first suspicion is usually that you don't have enough magnesium, but is that really the case? What are the signs of too little magnesium? So that you don't have to guess any longer, let's look at the top 5 warning signs of a magnesium deficiency. 00:00 Recognize your magnesium deficiency early 00:59 Warning sign no. 1: Heart problems 05:13 Warning sign no. 2: Inner restlessness and nervousness 07:25 Warning sign no. 3: Headaches and migraines 09:43 Warning sign no. 4: Tiredness and weakness 11:48 Warning sign no. 5: nausea and constipation #magnesium #deficiency #medicine #health ⏩ Get informed first, then supplement: Feel free to take a look at my guide https://bit.ly/RatgeberHowTo ✅ ❎ 100% independent ❎ 100% study-based ❎ 100% medically correct Warning sign no. 1: heart problems To make it clear how important it is to avoid a magnesium deficiency, let's start with the heart. Men's normal range is 0.73-1.06 mmol/l, for women the range is 0.77-1.03 mmol/l. But why is magnesium important for the heart? I worked in the intensive care unit for some time and in fact we always got 1g of magnesium when patients developed certain sudden cardiac arrhythmias. Magnesium and potassium stabilize the heart cells electrically. Let's get to the crucial question: what can happen if there is a deficiency? If there is a deficiency, the heart's pacemaker and muscle cells are activated more frequently, which can lead to extrasystoles. A severe deficiency can even cause cardiac arrhythmias and even heart failure. What can you do? A balanced diet is key. Foods rich in magnesium are beans, lentils and nuts. Good sources of potassium are dried apricots, soybeans and pistachios. Warning sign no. 2: Inner restlessness and nervousness Have you been a bit irritable or nervous recently? Are you feeling inner restlessness? This could actually be due to a magnesium deficiency. Stress leads to the release of stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, which increases magnesium consumption. Magnesium has a relaxing effect on our nervous system by supporting nerve transmission and stabilizing the nerve membrane. If there is a deficiency, the nervous system and stress hormone regulation become unbalanced. My tip: If you are often stressed, you should put an extra portion of magnesium-rich foods on your plate. In addition to the symptoms mentioned, a magnesium deficiency can also be indicated by numbness, tingling, and muscle cramps. Remember that other illnesses can also be behind the symptoms mentioned. If you suspect a magnesium deficiency, you should consult a doctor. A balanced diet is usually sufficient; supplementation can only be useful in the case of a severe deficiency.
