  Speaker 2: infinite in the individual, the creativity is made manifest, limitation
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: is let go. Now, here's your host, doctor Troy Munson.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy. You know I love calcium,
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: I really do. I love it for all the things
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: that it does. But there is a mineral that is equally,
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: if not sometimes more impressive than calcium, and that is magnesium.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Magnesium is involved in so many different areas of the body.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: We might think, well, calcium's calcium is the best, it's
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: the most important. While calcium is forty eight to fifty
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: percent of all minerals in the human body, so literally
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: adding up all other minerals nearly equals calcium in the body.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: But of all minerals, magnesium is so far above every
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: other mineral in its complexity in terms of how many
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: chemical reactions that's involved with. So magnesium does just so
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: much in the human body. And why wouldn't it look
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: around you outside at all the green Hopefully you're not
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: in a city and you just have four walls and
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: that's it. But if you look around the country and
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: the globe, you're going to see lots of green, not
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: to mention, of course, the blue of the ocean, but
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: all of that green is often magnesium. So we look
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: at chlorophyll and it's this bright green color, and it
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: is that way because of the magnesium core that it possesses.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: If we were to take that magnesium out of the
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: core of chlorophyll, the molecule, and put in an iron core,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: it would turn bright red and it could almost be
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: used as blood. It's that close in chemical structure. So
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: magnesium is impressive. How would I know if I'm magnesium deficient, Well,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I may have calcium issues like kidney stones. I may
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: be laying down calcium in joints and tissues. I may
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: also have valves in my heart that do not work correctly.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I may have heart rhythm issues, speeds up, slows down,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: maybe there's an arrhythmia. All of that would be magnesium.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: And of course this is a weird one excessive sweating.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: So excessive sweating, we might pick on things like urea
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: and potassium, but magnesium would also be equally impressive when
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: it comes to those that sweat profusely. So how how
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: does magnesium do this? When we look at heart function,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: there is what we would call a mile neural junction
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: and mile for muscle neural for nerve, and so where
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: that nerve touches the heart muscle ultimately telling it when
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: to contract. That is driven partly by magnesium. And so
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: magnesium has its hand in a lot of nerve function.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: If we want our bones to be strong and our
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: teeth to be strong, you're not only going to need calcium,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: but you're going to need magnesium. So let's say there's
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: a lot of people out there that are wanting to
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: take calcium, but they're taken kind of a crappy calcium
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: and they don't notice much improvement, which I often hear
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: from people. And when I give them the calcium that
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I have, it has magnesium naturally in it and in
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: a ratio that is fitting for the body to absorb
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: that amount of calcium and utilize it correctly. So magnesium,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: though we don't have a ton in the body, we
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: do have a significant portion and it is important in
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: how calcium is utilized. So just because we take a
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: calcium supplement doesn't necessarily guarantee us that we're going to
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: digest it and absorb it. But when we have something
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: that is highly absorbable and we put some magnesium with it,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: we now have a product that that actually will do
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: something spectacular in the body. So let's look at just
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: a couple of statistics when we look at magnesium in
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Let's say one of the higher magnesium foods. One of
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: my favorite is pumpkin seed, So we see pumpkin seeds.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: I believe roughly one ounce of pumpkin seeds is one
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: hundred and sixty milligrams of magnesium and only ten milligrams
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: of calcium, so very much can absorb a fair amount
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: of magnesium. With pumpkin seeds. I wouldn't go for roasted,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I would go for more of the raw. Now, some
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: of you might have trouble with pumpkin seeds. How would
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: you know if your diet's pretty stable and you don't
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: have a lot of stuffiness, and you have good energy,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: and you add pumpkin seeds and all of a sudden
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: you get stuffy, or you get tired, or you get
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: a little indigestion. You may have some form of allergy.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: To the lectins in pumpkin seeds, and you may have
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: to choose something different. Now, almonds will have a significant
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: amount of magnesium too, but there were actually split evenly
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: between magnesium and calcium, so they're even in almonds, which
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: is not a bad deal. But I definitely would go
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: with something sprouted or something fermented when it comes to
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: almonds as well. Some people will even blanch them to
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: take the skin off because the skin is where the
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: lectins are. You could do that, that would be fine.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: The bulk of the magnesium will be inside, and that's
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: that's an easy thing to do. Next is spinach surprisingly
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: has a fair amount of magnesium. Now it might not
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: seem like a lot compared to like pumpkin seeds at
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty milligrams, but for an ounce of
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: spinach to have twenty four milligrams of magnesium, it will
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: be in a multitude of forms. Now, magnesium is bonded
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: to different amino acids and they all are utilized. So
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: some people will go with a magnesium oxide, or a
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: magnesium glycinate or a magnesium citrate, but there are many
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: different proteins that magnesium is bonded to and when we
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: eat something natural like greens, we tend to get twenty four,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: twenty five, twenty six different types of magnesium, and now
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: we have a food that is helpful for that brain function.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: So magnesium in its glory actually helps energy production in
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: the cells and our brain and our nervous system, but
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: also helps us relax and rest. So magnesium just because
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: you take it in the morning doesn't mean you're going
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: to fall asleep, because many people will take it at
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: night to try to help sleep and restless leg syndrome
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: again that mild neural junction. But if you take magnesium
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: and you still have restless leg, it isn't the magnesium's fault,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: it's something else. I'm often going to pick on calcium first,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: and then I'm going to start picking on B vitamins
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: when it comes to restless leg syndrome. If you don't
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: find help from magnesium, there may be a little bit
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: of a potassium issue in there too. But if you're
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: eating foods of natural sources of calcium and magnesium like
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: nuts and seeds, you're likely going to get a fair
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: amount of potassium with it. In fact, in some cases,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: massive doses of potassium, So that usually isn't the issue.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: So I hope that kind of gives you an appreciation
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: of magnesium. It is an amazing little mineral, and why
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: wouldn't it be. It is the top of the heap
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: when it comes to how many chemical reactions. In fact,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I can remember when I first started nutrition of practice
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: way back in the day twenty five thirty years ago,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: and we were told that magnesium was involved in three
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: hundred chemical reactions. The next placed mineral was iron at
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: ninety three chemical reactions that they discovered to date. Last
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I checked, I saw research about four or five years
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: ago that said it was well over six hundred different
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: chemical reactions that magnesium has a hand in. So we're
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: always learning when it comes to this whole thing called
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: the body, and magnesium still reigns supreme as the most
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: important mineral in terms of chemical reactions in the human body,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: where calcium may outshine it in terms of overall amount
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: of use, Magnesium is vital. So until next time, I'm
• 8:03

• 8:06
