Daily reminder that magnesium is the 4th most abundant mineral in the human body, yet accounts for the largest deficit of all minerals in the human diet, with diets across the world having 93% reduction in a hundred years.It has over 800 unique roles in the human body and thousands upon thousands of synergistic roles.Adequate hydration cannot be maintained without magnesium, since magnesium is required for potassium re-uptake and cellular storage. Equalling one part of the calcium antagonist equation.The second part is the activation of Vitamin D, which your body will leech all magnesium sources to maintain Vitamin D levels.Magnesium alongside K2 regulate the excess calcium levels in the body. Forming the bone matrix. K2 Directing calcium to bones, while magnesium naturally promotes bonding to calcium.Magnesium supplementation raises testosterone in the body by 24% after 4 weeks of daily dosages around 400mg and this is for the average person!Magnesium is also essential for cellular replication and is theorized to be the leading cause of cancer since low magnesium influences every facet of the human body. Resulting in inefficiency even in the redundant systems for immune stability, toxic removal.It's the leading remover of aluminum in the body.It is also a potent neurotransmitter that promotes signaling. Which greatly helps sleep!>but that seems counterintuitive until you realize that this transmission of energy is what stimulates your body to actually release the mixtures that put you to rest.It is common for the first two weeks of supplementation to be excessively tired and it is recommended to start a ramp of 50mg, 100mg, 200mg, into a final dosage of 400mg.The best news! it is basically impossible to overdose on magnesium as even 1kmg+ while leading to magnesium toxicity is easily fixed by drinking water.While lower toxicity rarely impacts health, symptoms only being a dip of other electrolytes/micros you already have abundantly in your diet.
>Yes, but anon I get magnesium daily and I know my dietThat's often not true at all!Because of 93% reduction in all food sources, 50% of the world's population being magnesium deficient is actually a flip flop of individual persons daily.While you might on most days have a magnesium standard, often within a week's timeframe there will be a couple of days you will be deficient. Most people are like this on alternating schedules.With around 3/5 people being deficient on each individual day no matter where they are in the world by statistical probability.Magnesium deficiency is often a lifelong commitment to reverse due to this.As much of our magnesium stores happen during teenage development of the bone matrix, we would eat a surplus of magnesium and as we grow our body just readily puts them away!thankfully a little bit of exercise and a steady flow of magnesium can help repair this deficit.In the eras before modern, magnesium was so abundant that basically it was impossible to not become magnesium toxic at some point during the day.With a man eating a handful of apples being enough to cause toxicity if he ate them too quickly.
>good sources of magnesium>leafy green vegetables, such as spinach.>legumes.>nuts and seeds.>whole grains.>seafood.b b but micronutrientanon says dont eat those things!
>>77189234I personally like almonds, chocolate, pumpkin seeds, black beans, and love fish.Hate spinach, gives me horrible IBS personally for some reason. every single time i eat it.>b-but some random faggot on 4chanwell fuck that guy, he is obviously retarded.arguable bone broths could be considered a decent source. since it's literally boiled bones.
>>77189225>with diets across the world having 93% reduction in a hundred years.isn't 93% of the world brown and/or a woman?
>>77189243it's 53% of the world's food supply though.all food sources tested at random have had a reduction of magnesium with a trend of this going on for many decades.one anon says it's because plants are modified to grow so quickly into a fruition state that they don't even have time to uptake certain micro nutrients anymore. they grab the micros they need to grow ASAP and reject the micros that actually promote longevity to the plant since no one cares about the plants health outside of season anymore.magnesium is widely being considered the "quality of life" micro. sure you can live with extremely low levels, but at each threshold your life sucks more and more. if you want to actually live you gotta have adequate magnesium.since it is used in so many functions you basically have two days before you are quickly running through your reserves.
I took the old snake juice advice and started putting a pinch of bath salts/epsom salt in my daily electrolyte sippy drink because it is all I had on hand and I can say that it does actually cause loose stools if you add too much. Apparently this form of magnesium only absorbs at about 5% and the rest interacts with your bowel on the way out. You want the other kinds of magnesium not meant for skin absorption.Magnesium glycinate 20–40% absorption, gentle on stomach and calming to the point of fixing disjointed sleepmagnesium bicarbonate (easily made from mag hydroxide in Selzer water) >80% absorptionmagnesium citrate 8-30% absorption, low laxative effectmagnesium oxide 7-20% absorption can be harsh to digest depending of stomach aciditymagnesium sulfate (Epsom bath salt) 3-8% absorption via gut, large laxative effectMy understanding is that the body is great at holding onto magnesium during exercise and only potassium and sodium really need to be replenished that often for that. Doing magnesium is just precautionary with no downsides, incase you are chronically deficient (likely). I found it doesn't exactly stop cramping after lots of exercise during the week but makes stretching quicker and easier if you stay hydrated over days.
>>77189225>>77189230>>77189234am I covered bros?
>>77189257Magnesium is 100% required for potassium though.Kidneys only re uptake potassium due to some sort of work around due to magnesium.Potassium supplementation in all forms equals 0 potassium gained unless magnesium is present since you'll just piss it out shortly after ingesting it.I take magnesium-glycinate for sleep+joint health
>>77189258No. Not bioavailable and cancelled by antinutrients. Eat fish instead
also avoid the supplement jewIf vegetables were such a great source no such deficiency would be observed since most humans nowadays can be accurately described as vegetarian
>>77189239>some reasonAvoid fiber (indigestible dead plant matter) and you'll be fine. Might unironically even cure your ibs
>>77189283that makes no sense though, nuts are plants and are great sources of magnesium and they have fiber.it's specifically spinach.I also love asparagus and never get IBS symptoms from it, also a great source of magnesium.are you trying to pretend humans can't eat plants?>>77189278>>77189277samefaggot
>>77189230>3/5 people being deficientBut I'm not black
>>77189283>avoid fiber because... it's indigestibleyes that's the fucking point, it acts like a piston that pushes waste out of your guts and makes your shits firm instead of watery
>>77189303Cooked legumes vs green leavesSnack vs dish side or entire dishHumans are maladapted to plants and phytochemicals. >Great source is when 15% of the dv from 200g that is malabsorbed due to multiple factors /Fit/ never ceases to amaze me with the instagram anorexic girl tier understanding of nutrition
>>77189314That's a non issue for people who dont consume swine feed, fiber isnt a solution to the root problem, shitting dead plant matter all the time that fucks with nutrient absorption and isnt normal or natural.
>>77189318>bro just trust me this post reads like an indian wrote it.
>>77189319>shitting dead plant matter all the time that fucks with nutrient absorption and isnt normal or naturalwe've been eating plants since before there were modern humans retardbut no im sure your diet of nothing but beef and eggs is actually very gentle on your colon and not a pain in the ass at all
>>77189326he is shitposting even the most carnivore drive people on the entire planet still eat plants.The Eskimos eat seaweed, berries, roots.That African tribe eats roots, and some forms of berries, tubing plants.The most carnivore oriented people period, the russian tribe still cooks water plants and literal tree bark that they have to cook twice over because of it being toxic, but they still do it regularly.don't argue with a jeet who knows they are shitposting dude. you're better than that.coming from someone who barely even eats plants, but does eat them.
>>77189325Yeah an indian would definitely tell you that humans are maladapted to vegetables, weird projection you mentally ill weirdo.>>77189326You're a disingenuous jewPlants ≈ fruits/berries, maybe wheat (humans well adapted to these) VS roots and greens that the body struggles to digest.Yes, meat and eggs are gentle on the colon and are 100% digestible. You know what isnt ? Mashed up cellulose. >>77189328You have nothing to back this up and just made it up. What some spear chuckers do is also irrelevant to the discussion.
>>77189334actually mashed up cellulose is very easy on the colon. its FODMAPs that the body struggles with because they rapidly ferment and can irritate the gut. brw wheat has lots of FODMAPs, as do many berries and fruits. potatoes and carrots and greens have basically none. :)
>>77189319>>77189277>>77189278>>77189334
>>77189257You are still severily deficinet in magnesiun if you get any muscle cramps.
>>77189278Farmers don't add depleted magnesiun into the soil. Also they use a lot of chemicals that kill fungy and bacteria in the soil. Without said bacteria and fungy, plants can't absorb magnesium from the soil.
>>77189303A good rule of thumb is to never argue with people who are anti-fiber. None of them ever post their body. They are people who have been indoctrinated into the carnivore diet. Ergo, they are all obese people who cling to that world view because They need a singular boogeyman to blame for their problems and continue believing that if they pursue this extremely simplistic worldview then they will finally remedy themselves.
>>77189334>You have nothing to back this up and just made it upRrrrrright because we haven't talked to these more tribalistic people rrrright because they magically just don't exist in your world.>look at me look at me everyone in my country just eats meat all daywe know that isn't true Rashen.>>77189557Like I said i'm not even very pro fiber.However once we get anti-plant involved in the conversation, I just know it's a shitpost instantly.Imagine thinking an orange is bad for you, it's basically the most synergistic food source on the planet with a decent micro range across the board, vitamin c, and collagen promoting phytochemical makeup for reuptake of broken down collagen.at like 100 calories i'd take that any day.i'd be berry picker as fuck 5k years ago and mog 99.99% of men today.
>>77189225>1kmg+>kilo milli
>>77189366It's so easy on the gut that it fucks up your guts microbiome. So easy that even ruminants need a three steps process to digest it lmao !>>771895920 proof as usual, just make belief and made up anecdotes. You cant back up a single statement of yours and always resort to insults. This is genuinely sad and pathetic.Listen before it's too late, stop eating pesticides sprayed green leaves like you're a cow (funnily even cows and horses are told to avoid spinach because it causes "malnutrition" lmao!)
>>7718922524%?! Holy shit bros. Im going to gets some Magneesy right fucking now.
>>77189225I've tried supplementing magnesium, but every time I've tried I end up getting depressed. It took me awhile to figure it out, half a day to a day after a magnesium supplement, my general mood and outlook is significantly lowered, and doesn't rise again until almost a day later.
>>77189230In that case I'm glad that I was a supplement nerd when I was younger and was taking boron and magnesium.
I take around 3.5g of mg oxide split into a few doses throughout the day so I don't shit myself and about 200mg of mg glycinate before bed. I would do more kinds and would like to hit around 5g a day but it gets pricey.
>>77189366we do not have the digestive enzymes to break down cellulose. In large enough quantities It is like sand paper on the intestines.
>>77190852Just so you know the oxide is a waste. You're getting less than 350mg out of that 3.5g. Just take more glycinate, which has a much higher absorption ratio
>>77189225just eat with celtic sea salt
>>77192854Literal meme
