Foods Containing Magnesium
Magnesium is plentiful in many everyday supermarket foods:
eggplant, for example, tofu, salmon, bananas, shrimp, rice, spinach,
yams, sardines, corn and mozzarella cheese. A more complete list is
further down the page.

Fresh vegetables are a good source of magnesium. Magnesium is
lost when foods are processed. Sadly, magnesium usually isn't
replaced as "enrichment" at the processing plant.

Magnesium supplements are inexpensive. If you are taking a calcium
supplement, take a magnesium supplement with it to avoid bone spurs
and headaches. You can't get the benefits of calcium without
magnesium. (When I was a Realtor I took a newsletter written by a few
women pharmacists (I think they were not doctors, but pharmacists)
who dealt over and over again with the need for magnesium to avoid
osteoporosis. I followed their advice and was rewarded: when I had a
bone density test, I was told mine was excellent. I was going on 60 at
the time.)

Many symptoms of low magnesium are also associated with low vitamin
B12: for instance tingling, numbness, sensitivity to noise.
Both magnesium and vitamin B12 need stomach acid in order to be
released from food. People with inadequate stomach acid are likely to be
deficient in both magnesium and vitamin B12.

“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.”

More than seventy-five years ago, medical scientists declared
magnesium to be an essential nutrient, indispensable to life. When this
mineral is part of your diet, you are guarding against–and helping to
alleviate–health threats such as heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis,
diabetes, depression, arthritis, and asthma. But while research continues
to reaffirm magnesium’s irreplaceable contribution to good health, many
Americans remain dangerously deficient.
In The Miracle of Magnesium, Dr. Carolyn Dean, an authority on this
mineral who has used it with dramatic success in her own practice,
explains the vital role that magnesium plays in the control of many
serious ailments–from painful muscle spasms and bladder problems to
traumatic brain injury and complications of pregnancy and childbirth.
Inside you will discover
"Whether you need help with a serious health problem or merely want
to protect the good health you already enjoy, The Miracle of
Magnesium will answer all your questions. It may even save your life."

presents invaluable recommendations–based on the latest magnesium
research. Virtually every American can benefit.”

I have The Giant Book of Women's Health Secrets which says that the
British tried to duplicate the American study which had shown that
aspirin could stop a heart attack. They were unable to duplicate the
results and the reason given by the authors is that in England aspirin is
not "buffered" like it is here. The buffering agent is magnesium.
The authors suggest that because magnesium relaxes muscles, it most
likely is the magnesium in US aspirin which stops the heart attack.
They also suggest taking magnesium for headaches. I had to try that, of
course. And sure enough, it works.

The following is something Carolyn Dean wrote about magnesium, that
I love. It's so expressive of how powerful magnesiums is.
"My first encounter with magnesium was in high school chemistry.
Each student was given a thin strip of magnesium and told to light one
end carefully. The previous week we had learned that magnesium is the
eighth most abundant element, constituting approximately 2 percent of
the earth's crust and 1.14 percent of seawater. By comparison, calcium
makes up 3 percent of the earth's crust but only 0.05 percent of
seawater. There are 4-6 tsp (20-28 g or 2 oz) of magnesium in the
body, comprising about 0.05 percent of the body's weight. This
information in no way prepared us for the dynamic effect of lighting the
magnesium strip. It flared up like an electric sparkler and disappeared in
a flash. This effervescent property serves as an important reminder of
magnesium's versatility as the spark of life, constantly igniting metabolic
reactions throughout the body."

Because magnesium helps our bodies make the most and best use
of the calcium we eat, the following study suggests to me that some
people need more magnesium than others:
7/2/09 -- In a joint Australian-Vietnamese study published today in
the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, lead researcher Tuan
Nguyen said that in their study of 2,700 people they found that
vegetarians had bones five percent less dense than meat-eaters, and
vegans who exclude all animal products from their diet had bones
six percent weaker.
"The magnitude of the association is clinically insignificant," he said,
adding that there was "practically no difference" between the bones
of meat-eaters and ovolactovegetarians, who excluded meat and
seafood but eat eggs and dairy products.
Nguyen, who is from Sydney's Garvan Institute for Medical
Research and collaborated on the project with the Pham Ngoc
Thach University of Medicine in Ho Chi Minh City, talked about
the question of whether the lower density bones translate to
increased fracture risk, "Given the rising number of vegetarians,
roughly five percent (of people) in western countries, and the
widespread incidence of osteoporosis, the issue is worth resolving,"
he said.
