  • Lesson on low magnesium (hypomagnesemia), purpose of magnesium, dietary sources of magnesium, causes of low magnesium, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. Magnesium is an important element acquired from our diet that is required for many enzymatic processes including DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis. There are many dietary sources of magnesium including almonds, broccoli, and bananas. There are several categories of causes of low magnesium including decreased intake, increased losses, among others, and can also be caused by certain medications. In this lesson, we discuss multiple causes within each of these categories and discuss many different types of medications that can lead to low magnesium levels. We also discuss some of the signs and symptoms of having low magnesium, coexisting electrolyte disturbances, and ECG abnormalities caused by low magnesium. We also discussed how we can treat both mild and severe hypomagnesemia.

    when i just started training in 2018 i actually got depressed from the workouts i didn't know what was going on. turns out my electrolytes were completly out of balance (sodium, magnesium, potassium) one time i stood up out of bed and my vision blacked out and i fell down on my knee. electrolytes are so important for athletes and clean eaters. put some seasalt on your food if you dont eat processed. load up on vegetables low in anti nutrients (anti nutrients bind to vitamins and minerals and take them out of the body) to get magnesium & potassium. magnesium citrate supplements give me the shits. magnesium glycinate and l-threonate are the best > l-threonate seems to be good for brain health also

    • @annoloki
      @annoloki Před 2 lety +1

      The bigger problem has been acid rain, washing magnesium from soil, so we see a large drop in dietary intake of magnesium as it drops from the food chain. So, we see the effect on the population level, due to affordable food quality and availability. For example, in the US, African American populations have higher rate of magnesium intake deficiency, but it's still fairly high in the rest of the population. Weight gain, diabetes (II) are predictable outcomes of magnesium deficiency, as you cannot use the energy in your food without sufficient magnesium (plus other things, of course) and so it can only be stored as fat.

      I stopped fluoride water 2009, buying 5 gln reverse osmosis water bottles, at .75 cents a gallon, from the local water store here. 1 bottle lasts me 2 1/2 days, I just refill a large water bottle or take a 1 gln container with me. I can smell & taste chlorinated fluoride water from faucet or at restaurant. It was a small commitment I made to myself & my kids back then. I'm not wealthy nor even middle class, I figure I can put $20 towards clean water a month, minus the little single use bottles that fill the oceans & landfills.

    magnesium oxide?
    that doesn’t seem right.
    in fact, opposite of what they say about magnesium oxide because it promotes diarrhea, and then you’ll loose even more magnesium.
    could you explain why you selected oxide over gluconate or glycinate which are both know for being less likely to cause diarrhea.
    these are not my findings, i’m only reiterating.
