300 Reasons You Need More Magnesium

Okay, exhale. I'm not planning to spell out all 300 -- but that's how many vital bodily functions require this mighty mineral: magnesium. Yet three out of four of us don't get as much magnesium as we need, according to Elizabeth Somer, RD, author of The Essential Guide to Vitamins and Minerals. So there's a 75% chance that you're low on it, yet you've probably never given the mineral a second thought. Why? Partly because magnesium just isn't a headline grabber -- yet -- like calcium, folic acid, and iron. But it should be. Here are seven key reasons why getting enough is so important. (We'll save the other 293 for another day).

Magnesium helps you cope with stress. Stress hormones drain magnesium from the body, and low magnesium raises stress hormones. In this chicken-and-egg situation, getting enough gives you an edge in both directions.

It keeps your blood pressure healthy. Magnesium works with sodium, calcium, potassium, and other minerals to help regulate blood pressure.

It helps curb PMS. During the last two weeks of the menstrual cycle, magnesium levels drop, which can contribute to water retention, cramping, headaches, and an oversensitive nervous system. Getting 320 milligrams (mg) of the mineral a day could help counter these problems.

It cuts your diabetes risk by a third. Shortages can lead to insulin resistance, a condition that sends your blood sugar soaring, which is almost an engraved invitation for diabetes.

It's a must for sturdy bones. More than 50% of your body's magnesium is in your bones. Shortages disturb the calcium balance and bone metabolism, raising your risk of osteoporosis.

It could spare you a heart attack. Research suggests that magnesium reduces the formation of artery-blocking blood clots.

And it may prevent painful gallstones. Magnesium deficiency boosts bad triglycerides and lowers good HDL cholesterol -- both encourage cholesterol-filled gallstones.

So, how much do you need . . . and how do you get it?

Women need about 320 mg of magnesium a day; men, about 420 mg. Here's an example of all it takes to get that much from a day's worth of eating:

For women:
1 glass of soymilk for breakfast
2 slices of 100% whole-wheat bread on your lunch sandwich
1 palmful of almonds for an afternoon snack
1/2 cup of brown rice and 2 cups of spinach salad for dinner

For men:
Same menu as above, but add 2/3 of a cup of kidney beans to dinner.

Other good daily food sources of magnesium include nuts in general, oatmeal, shredded wheat, wheat bran, bran flakes . . . hmm, notice a trend here? Yes, whole grains are a spiffy source of magnesium -- and there's a bonus: Eating 6 servings of whole grains a day can make yourRealAge as much as 4 years younger. Nice.

Bad Habits That Cause Knee Pain: Are You Guilty of #3?

Don't let knee pain keep you from hiking up Machu Picchu, beating your friends in ping –pong or tennis, or even getting out of the chair to go (anywhere). Take steps to prevent that pain by nixing these habits:

1. Going back for seconds. And thirds. Obesity is one of the biggest risk factors for osteoarthritis because it speeds the breakdown of cartilage. Plus, every extra pound you carry puts 3 pounds of pressure on your knee joints when you walk and 10 pounds when you go down stairs or run. Dropping pounds may be the most important thing you can do to prevent a serious knee problem. In fact, overweight people who lost just 11 pounds cut their risk of osteoarthritis in half. What's making your joints hurt? Take the JointAge Test!.


2. Getting too cushy with the couch. Without regular exercise, your muscles weaken, leaving your joints without ample support, which makes you vulnerable to misalignment. Focus on low-impact activities that build stamina, strength, and flexibility, such as yoga, walking, biking, swimming, and weight lifting. Check out some of our free exercise videos for low-impact workouts you can do at home.


3. Getting in a slump. We mean slumping over your desk or slouching when you stand. Just as an out-of-alignment car puts irregular wear on your tires, an off-kilter body messes with your knees. If you're standing right, your knees are slightly bent (not locked), your abdominal muscles are engaged, your head is centered over your body, and your weight is evenly distributed between your feet.

Winnie Mandella

J. Hud as Winnie Mandela T.D. Jakes Presents the Winne Mandela Story Special Correspondent: John Luerssen Winnie Mandela, the new film about the personal and political life of the wife of human rights activist and revered former South African President, Nelson Mandela, hits theatres September 6th. Ahead of the hotly anticipated biopic, which stars Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls), this emotional excerpt captures Winnie Mandela during the 18 months she spent in solitary confinement. Billed as an "Untold Love Story," the motion picture is based on Anné Mariè du Preez Bezdrob's biography Winnie Mandela: A Life. It traces Mandela and her husband – played by Academy Award nominee Terrance Howard (Hustle and Flow) – from his political rise, fall and ultimate imprisonment for his opposition to apartheid to her efforts to win his freedom while carrying on his dream for peace and equality in a free South Africa. In theaters now, check your local listings.

Chicago Inventors Meeting

CHICAGO INVENTORS ORGANIZATION PRESENTS 

"ACTION STEPS FOR TAKING YOUR IDEA TO MARKET"  

Saturday, September 14, 2013 (9:30 AM - 1:30 PM) 

BLUE 1647 INNOVATION CENTER 

1647 S Blue Island St (Near 18th & Loomis) 

Chicago IL 60608

Come join the Chicago Inventors Organization, September 14, at the BLUE 1647 Innovation Center to learn how all the puzzle pieces fit together to profitably take your product to market. 

 

We have discussed protecting, prototyping, researching, financing and pitching your product but now you need to know the action steps necessary to make your product idea come alive and sell in today's global marketplace. 

 

Speaking will be Inventor and Chicago Inventors Organization President Calvin Flowers. Learning to be a successful inventor entrepreneur who sold his product nationwide in Walgreens was a real challenge for Calvin Flowers. Although he always had a passion for electronics and a knack for solving problems, raising the necessary funds to develop, patent, manufacture and profitably venture his telephone-locking device required Calvin to develop an entrepreneurial skill which he will share with you. Calvin's presentation will include developing your product's business case and a action plan to profitably take your product to market. 

 

Admission to this fantastic public event is free for current members of the Chicago Inventor Organization and only $10.00 for the General Public. 

 

Visit our website (www.chicago-inventors.org) for more information or call 312-850-4710.
