Magnesium plays a key role in preventing insulin
dysregulation and type 2 diabetes, according to several recent studies—yet 80
percent of Canadians are likely magnesium deficient.
One study found those with the highest magnesium intake reduced
their risk of metabolic problems by 71 percent.
Another study concluded magnesium is highly protective for
those at high risk for type 2 diabetes.
Inadequate magnesium intake creates a vicious cycle of low
magnesium levels in your body, elevated insulin and blood glucose levels, and
excess loss of magnesium in your urine.
The best source of magnesium is through natural nutrition such as whole, organic foods,
especially dark green leafy vegetables; other good sources include seaweed,
dried pumpkin seeds, unsweetened cocoa, flaxseed, almond butter, and whey.
Of the many forms of magnesium supplements
available today, a newer form called magnesium threonate shows particular
promise due to its ability to penetrate cell membranes, even those in your
brain.Nutritionist Ottawa
