Most of us are conditioned through our educational system on health and wellness, and the role of exercise in our health. Health education classes and physical education, or P.E. as we've all come to know it, have stressed the importance of exercise in our health and wellness. Healthy muscles support our skeletal system and aid in circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids. Nutrition is the key to providing our muscles the tools they need for optimum function.
Many of our muscular functions rely on magnesium to aid in performance. These functions include the electrolyte balance, the vital mineral balance needed for a healthy heart. Magnesium also affects our oxygen uptake and energy production.
A study was conducted by the U.S. Department ofAgriculture, Agricultural Research Service, at the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center in Grand Forks, ND. This study included the loss of magnesium through exercise, the typical diet, and the importance of magnesium in a weight control sports such as wrestling and gymnastics.
Sweating and urination caused by strenuous exercise or body building can diminish magnesium supplies by as much as 10% to 20%. Magnesium is a vital mineral to over 300 body functions, from a healthy heart to strong teeth. Is the level of magnesium in the body, on an ongoing basis, affect performance type activity?
Dietary surveys show a magnesium intake of less than 260 mg/day for males, and 220 mg/day for female athletes may result in a magnesium-deficient status. Studies also show that a great number of people routinely are deficient in magnesium. Athletics that require weight control tend to be more susceptible to a low magnesium level.
We can't prove that magnesium does improve our performance in sporting and competitive events. It was noted in the U.S. Department of Agriculture study that giving the body an adequate supply of magnesium does aid in exercise performance.
The affect of magnesium on muscle function and the role it serves in both the typical exercise program and high-performance sport training is worthy of continued research. Maintaining a healthy electrolyte balance is always a key consideration for peak-performance and maintaining a healthy heart.
We bring magnesium into our systems by eating a diet rich in natural, whole, fresh foods. Many fruits and vegetables contain levels of magnesium. Conditions such as leaky gut or candida, or other conditions that diminish digestion can decrease our ability to absorb magnesium from our diet. We can introduce more magnesium into our bodies transdermally through a magnesium salt bath or magnesium topical spray. Magnesium is known to aid in the healing of muscles, improve skin, and promote restful sleep. - 16955
