Ever wonder why exactly we eat magnesium? Yeah me neither. But I decided that I really wanted to understand everything that is going into my body, even the metals.
Some of you right now might be thinking, “We’re actually eating metals?”. Yes we are and a good amount of it too. There are actually various biochemical reactions inside our bodies that require minerals in order to function. Magnesium alone is involved in over 300 reactions in the body!
Magnesium is considered a macronutrient, because our body needs lots of it. Parts of our bodies like our brain, bones, muscles, all require magnesium in order to function. The kidneys play the part of regulating the levels of magnesium in the body.
However, in our daily life, there are practices that drains us of our magnesium. Like drinking coffee depletes us of this much needed mineral.
Our aim is always to educate ourselves so that we can become healthy individuals with the capability of reaching our goals in life.
