Magnesium And Health

Magnesium is a mineral that serves many vital purposes in the
body. One of the big roles that magnesium plays is as an
electrolyte.

Magnesium works hand in hand with other electrolytes such
as calcium, potassium and sodium. Without magnesium, the
other electrolytes of calcium, potassium, and sodium can not
do there proper job, and are locked out of the tissues and
organs and so become ineffective.

We could say that the use of magnesium starts with the brain.
Hence these four electrolytes must be in proper balance.

With proper electrolytes, the brain can send electrical messages
to appropriate muscles telling them when and how much to
relax or contract. With out the proper nourishment, inappropriate
messages are sent from the brain.
