Ok, so all the minerals are important, but magnesium may be one worthy of some extra attention.

Check out the video for a list of magnesium’s many benefits.  There is also a short list of deficiency symptoms, related to a lack of magnesium.

Magnesium is also helpful in achieving a healthy pH balance in the body. Anyone who is over-acidic, should take a closer look at the important mineral.

Magnesium is definitely an important mineral for a whole list of reasons. It is very easy to be deficient in this mineral with today’s junk-o-centric eating habits. It is a vital mineral for pH balance in the body. This is one mineral I take every day myself.

Lots of people today are focused on calcium, but it is important to know that calcium and magnesium need to be in balance. By taking in too much calcium and not enough magnesium, it is possible to create a relative magnesium deficiency.

Here is a quote from DR. STEPHEN T. SINATRA, M.D., F.A.C.C., F.A.C.N.
Author of Lower Your Blood Pressure in Eight Weeks -

“Magnesium is indeed the unsung hero and is a key nutriceutical that everybody needs to know about. . . . This book needs to be read by any individual wishing to improve their quality of life. . . . Dr Dean has the best credentials in bringing solutions to those suffering from the hidden magnesium disorders that affect most of us.”

I would say the book, The Magnesium Miracle is definitely worth checking out. To find the best prices at Barnes and Noble, click the image next to the video above.

One of my favorite ways to balance my pH is to drink an organic, cleansing herbal tea. It acts as a very gentle colon cleanse and helps to remove toxins from my body.

Neutralizing excess acidity from a poor diet and toxins is just the beginning of the list.

Magnesium is involved in many functions:

• Temperature regulation
• Producing and transporting energy
• Synthesizing protein
• Transmitting nerve signals in the brain and body
• Relaxing muscles
• Manufacturing bones and teeth
• Detoxifying heavy metals
• Neutralizing acidity in the blood
• Digesting lipids and balancing cholesterol
• Creating neurotransmitters like serotonin

Magnesium Complex

• Highly bioavailable.
• Alkalizing.
• Promotes musculoskeletal health.
• Supports a healthy biological terrain.
• Supports a healthy cardiovascular system, especially during exercise.

It is one of the supplements that I take everyday myself.

Helping to balance the bodies acid-alkaline balance is just one of the benefits I have learned about this mineral.

The problem is, magnesium is not the easiest mineral in the world for your body to absorb. Here are some of the tips suggested in this video:

• Taking with Vitamin C can boost absorption.
• Combining magnesium with calcium is also helpful.
• Taking on an empty stomach is best, food can slow the absorption.
• Alcohol can cause your body to excrete more magnesium.
• Phosphates in soda can bind with magnesium.

Best Time to Take Magnesium

I like to take my magnesium right before bed. There is not a lot of food on my stomach,

which satisfies the take on an empty stomach rule. More importantly thought, it helps with relaxation and sleep. A big benefit for me.

Taking first thing in the morning is also an option.

Here is an additional trick:

I break open the magnesium capsule and add to my water. It helps make the water more alkaline. It also helps to spread my magnesium intake throughout the course of the day, instead of taking a large amount all at once.

I will share with you my favorite and the method I personally use to get alkaline water.

• Start with pure water, I like to use reverse osmosis. distilled and filtered water will work as well. Fill a good sized water bottle, or use a glass.
• Add half a scoop of Sea Calcium
• Break open a Magnesium Complex capsule and empty about half into the water.
• Shake stir of mix.
• I drink 2-3 of these per day.

Why I like this Alkaline Water method:

I am giving my body valuable alkaline mineral buffers. Calcium and Magnesium are natural alkaline buffers that the body uses to fight over acidity.

At the same time I am getting a world of benefits provided by these health building minerals. Magnesium is especially important for a whole range of functions in the body. Browsing the bookstores health and wellness section one day, I came across a whole book, just about magnesium. There are a lot of good reasons to be sure you are getting enough magnesium. Many people are deficient. An acid forming diet can beat up on your bodies reserves of magnesium.

Sea Calcium provides a plant based form of calcium. We all know about the benefits and need for calcium.
