A Surprisingly Acrobatic Mineral
“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.”
As we've discussed many times before here, the endeavor toward happiness is greatly supported by excellent health, and the resultant high functioning it makes possible. While there is a raging debate on so many aspects of arriving at and supporting good health, including the levels of various nutrients we need for best results, I personally am drawn to constant reading on this subject. We do know through the results of many scientific studies that the human body cannot do without many vitamins and minerals. One of the most versatile seems to be magnesium. You may have heard that it helps us to absorb calcium, which is essential for maintaining healthy bones, and you may have taken it in certain forms for digestive complaints. It might surprise you to know that there are many more essential bodily functions that also require it.
I came across this article this week and wanted to share it because it may give you a sense of what a jack-of-all-trades this humble mineral is, and the different forms of it you might want on your radar. Here's another, in case you want more information, and of course there's a lot more to be found on the good old Internet! Depending on your situation, you might want to look into supplementing with a few of these forms if your diet may not be consistently yielding enough magnesium. Always check with your health professional, but this is one of the substances you don't want to overlook because of the sheer number of highly important functions it supports. That's all for this holiday week. To your continuing vibrant health!
