Do you know the importance of magnesium?
As women approach pre-menopause and eventually enter menopause, they experience a variety of physical and emotional changes. These changes are largely attributed to hormonal fluctuations, particularly the decline in estrogen levels. Common symptoms include:
- Hot Flashes and Night Sweats
- Mood Swings and Anxiety
- Insomnia and Sleep Disturbances
- Muscle Cramps and Joint Pain
- Bone Health Concerns
Magnesium is an important mineral that impacts these symptoms, helps regulate hormonal imbalances, and supports a smoother transition into menopause.
Low Magnesium has been associated with increased risk for the following diseases.
- Diabetes
- Heart disease
- Migraines
- Osteoporosis
Magnesium can be found in foods such as green leafy veggies, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and fortified cereals. Magnesium supplements are also available for those who are concerned with a deficiency.
Women who are typically at risk for a magnesium deficiency and may need to contact their doctor about magnesium supplements include those with GI diseases like Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's disease, or chronic diarrhea; pregnant and older women; women with diabetes, and those who have a high alcohol intake.
