5 Reasons to Get More Magnesium

Regulates blood sugar
Low magnesium levels are common amongst persons with type-2 diabetes. A study from the journal Diabetes Care found that magnesium supplementation helps regulate blood sugar in type-2 diabetics.
Inflammation
Inflammation is at the root cause of so many health problems, such as arthritis, heart disease, and obesity. Magnesium has been shown to act as an anti-inflammatory. More than one study has shown that as magnesium levels decrease, CRP (a marker for inflammation) increases. Elevated CRP is associated with an increased risk of heart disease and other inflammation-related conditions.
May lower colon cancer risk
Low magnesium levels have been linked to a higher risk of colorectal cancer, and by the same token, high levels of magnesium have been linked to a lower risk. A large-scale study from the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition of over 300,000 participants found that high magnesium intake was linked to an 11 percent decrease in colon cancer risk.
Insomnia
Insomnia can result from many factors, with magnesium deficiency being at the top. Magnesium calms the nervous system, relaxes muscles, and counters stress. Replenishing magnesium can lead to a longer, uninterrupted sleep pattern.
Supports dental health
Insufficient magnesium is an invitation for tooth damage. Maintaining adequate magnesium intake supports a healthy balance of calcium and phosphorous in the saliva, which in turn keeps your teeth intact.
Calms the nervous system
Serotonin, the brain chemical and neurotransmitter that plays such a critical role in our mood, depends on magnesium. In fact, insufficient magnesium seems to result in a decline in serotonin levels.
