Magnesium deficiencies affect approximately seven out of ten
Americans; highly due to a diet of highly processed foods. The balance between magnesium levels and
proper thyroid function are intricately intertwined.
With magnesium being needed in virtually every cell of the
body and a VIP in major organ and glandular functions in the body, this should
come as no surprise.
While a magnesium deficiency can cause a variety of symptoms
including irritability, asthma, fatigue, anxiety, headaches, migraines and
depression; many of these symptoms are also related to a thyroid disorder.
Magnesium is necessary in the proper absorption of calcium
in the body and there is a delicate balance between magnesium and calcium which
are both vital to proper thyroid function.
When the thyroid is not properly functioning, then hormones
and metabolism don’t work properly, and one becomes more susceptible to things
like heart issues and diabetes. They
thyroid essentially stores hormones that help to regulate functions such as the
heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and help to convert food into
energy. Without proper functioning of
these hormones, then the pituitary gland cannot work efficiently.
If you question potential magnesium deficiency or thyroid
issues, it is wise to seek a health professional.
Magnesium levels can be easily increased and when this
mineral is so important to overall good health and affects so many bodily
functions, it is well worth pursuing.
To your Health!
