Magnesium is already known by many as a tremendous booster of health. It contributes to\u00a0sound sleep<\/a>, helps with digestion and constipation, relieves muscle aches, and even improves heart health and migraine headaches \u2013 but here\u2019s a shocker:\u00a0in small doses it leads to an astonishing reversal of depression<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What is Magnesium and Why Do We Need it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Magnesium is one of the\u00a0most important<\/a>\u00a0elements in the human body. It is a micronutrient and mineral that is involved in thousands of biochemical processes crucial for the proper functioning of the cardiovascular, alimentary, endocrine, and osteoarticular systems, but oddly, it seems absolutely\u00a0vital<\/em>\u00a0to regulating our mood and levels of happiness.<\/p>\n

In a breakthrough study conducted by researchers at the\u00a0Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont<\/a>\u00a0and published in PLoS ONE has found that just 248mg of it per day leads to an\u00a0about-face of depression symptoms<\/strong>\u00a0in study subjects.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew clinical research results show magnesium is effective at addressing symptoms and is safer and easier on the wallet than prescription therapies<\/em>,\u201d reports\u00a0Science Daily<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mounds of Research Proving We Need Magnesium to Combat Depression<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Research of this kind regarding magnesium isn\u2019t new, but it stands to reinforce what nutritionists, health coaches, and even some psychologists have been stating for decades.<\/p>\n

Another\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0states this about magnesium and depression:<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em>Anxiety related conditions are the most common affective disorders present in the general population with a lifetime prevalence of over 15%. Magnesium (Mg) status is associated with subjective anxiety, leading to the proposition that Mg supplementation may attenuate anxiety symptoms.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

And this study\u00a0explains<\/a>\u00a0that:<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em>After adjusting for all potential confounders, the strength of the association of very low magnesium intake with depression was statistically significant (RR = 1.16; 95% CI, 1.06-1.30).\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Or how about this study which states that the daily consumption of\u00a0500 mg<\/a>\u00a0magnesium:<\/p>\n

\u201c. . . tablets for \u22658\u00a0wk by depressed patients suffering from magnesium deficiency leads to improvements in depression status and magnesium levels.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

So, while not all the studies agree on the exact amount of magnesium that we need each day to combat depression, they repeat over and over in\u00a0hundreds of additional studies<\/a>, that depleted magnesium levels contribute to depression.<\/p>\n

Why We\u2019re All Magnesium Deficient<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Depleted Soil<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Why are so many of us\u00a0magnesium deficient, aside from the fact that many vital micronutrients and minerals we need have been raped from the soil via industrial farming practices, and by adding non-organic, toxic chemical fertilizers and herbicides to the very soil which must grow our food?<\/p>\n

Too Much Sugar<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We also\u00a0eat too much sugar<\/a>. Is this a coincidence? The sugar industry has been\u00a0hiding the effects<\/a>\u00a0of sugar on us for decades \u2013 and one of those effects is that sugar eats up our magnesium stores.<\/p>\n

Refined sugar causes you to waste most vitamin and minerals in the body, mainly B-Vitamins, Potassium, Magnesium, Zinc and Manganese. Sugar raises CO2 levels in the blood, which causes you to go to bicarbonate stores which buffer it, causing a depletion of minerals like magnesium.<\/p>\n

Stress<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Another culprit is stress \u2013 both mental and physical stress, with its related continuous flow of adrenaline, uses up our magnesium stores rapidly. Adrenaline affects heart rate, blood pressure, vascular constriction and muscle contraction\u2014 actions that all demand steady supplies of magnesium for smooth function, and without it you can guess what happens.<\/p>\n

We also require magnesium to create serotonin, one of the \u201chappy hormones\u201d which prevents depression. Stress causes less serotonin to be created, and replaces it with cortisol and other stress hormones. Stress and depression are inextricably linked. Without enough magnesium we haven\u2019t got a chance at fighting depression naturally.<\/p>\n

Detoxification<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Magnesium is a\u00a0powerful detoxifier<\/a>. It removes everything from heavy metals, to glyphosate and other herbicides from our bodies, as well as thousands of environmental toxins and metabolic toxins. If we become overly toxic, due to a lack of magnesium, we are more likely be depressed as the brain suffers from inflammation it cannot overcome.<\/p>\n

Is it any wonder we suffer from the following additional diseases, aside from depression, all of which are linked to\u00a0magnesium deficiency?<\/p>\n
