Magic Magnesium for Back Pain


But there’s another very important, very simple to resolve cause of muscle tension: Magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is an incredibly important mineral, required for nerve conduction. It is a crucial element for muscle relaxation, and without it, muscles cannot relax. Out of the blue, magnesium deficiency is suddenly extremely common. Researchers are now calling it the ‘silent epidemic of our times’. Silent, because most people don’t know they are deficient, and the symptoms caused by lack of magnesium are often attributed to other causes, so the magnesium deficiency is missed. Epidemic of our times, because the common causes of reduced magnesium in your body are excess alcohol, salt, coffee, phosphoric acid in colas, prolonged stress, antibiotics.


So how do you know if you are deficient?


So… you may be magnesium deficient if you suffer with any of the following classic neuromuscular signs: • Muscle spasms • Muscle cramping • Fibromyalgia • Facial tics • Eye twitches, or involuntary eye movements
Other signs include: • Insomnia • Irritability • Anxiety • PMS


So what’s to be done? What’s the easiest and quickest way to increase your magnesium levels?

Well, a simple 2 pronged attack will do:

1. Stop do the things that are leaching magnesium from your body Limit coffee, colas, alcohol, sugar Reduce your stress levels by learning to relax
2. Increase your intake of magnesium by;
Eating foods containing magnesium
Foods to include in your diet that contain magnesium are: Kelp, wheat bran, wheat germ, almonds, cashews, buckwheat, Brazil nuts, dulse, filberts, millet, pecans, walnuts, rye, tofu, soy beans, brown rice, figs, dates, collard greens, shrimp, avocado, parsley, beans, barley, dandelion greens, and garlic, supplementing with magnesium - there are many ways to supplement with magnesium; orally or transdermally.- Orally in powder or tablet form (I recommend for high quality supplements), or transdermally by applying a magnesium oil directly to the area of pain. (Try this: Some people say that placing some epsom salts in a bath is a great way to increase magnesium levels trans-dermally (obviously you also need to sit in the bath!!)


So there we are… good luck dear friend - hopefully this is another piece of your puzzle on your way towards resolving your back pain.
