In the Jamaican article, “Magnesium- The Mighty Mineral”, the
writer talks about how there are major minerals that everyone always emphasizes
you need more of: iron, calcium, potassium and zinc, but they often forget that
magnesium is an important mineral for the body. The article states that “it
features in more than 300 different biochemical reactions in our bodies and is critical
to health and wellness.” The abundance of magnesium in our body, shows that we
need a lot of it in order to continue to maintain our health. Magnesium is
widely distributed in whole, unprocessed foods like green, leafy vegetables and
some fruits. Magnesium has been proven to improve many different health
problems such as coronary heart disease, high blood pressure and type 2
diabetes. Magnesium is also known for improving migraines, depression, anxiety,
insomnia, and constipation.
It is important to understand the importance of magnesium globally
and for the public because it helps prevent many diseases and it is also
crucial in survival as it is one of the four most important minerals in the
body. Like I said, it helps in prevention of angina, asthma, irregular heartbeat,
chronic fatigue, chronic pain, constipation, depression, digestive disorders
and irritable bowel syndrome, heart attacks, high blood pressure, high
cholesterol, insomnia, dizziness, irritability, nervousness, seizures, poor
concentration, migraine headaches, muscle cramps, spasms and weakness, kidney
stones, premenstrual symptoms, menstrual pain, sugar cravings, and temper
tantrums. All of these diseases and symptoms are common among the globe and
they each affect people in different ways, so it is important to educate people
on the importance of magnesium in order to prevent these diseases from occurring.
If people can have a good combination or the four main minerals, they can live
a long, healthy life.
