Magnesium Migraines by Kaya Riemann
Some symptoms of low magnesium include irregular heartbeats, loss of appetite, insomnia, shortness of breath, PMS, anxiety, dizziness, nausea, and poor coordination.
One major cause of low magnesium is eating too much of over processed foods. Processed foods are prepared in a way that most of the magnesium is lost. Foods that you can eat though that contain high magnesium include wheat germ, beans, soy products, whole grains, seafood, dark green leafy vegetables, bananas, and milk. If you cannot meat you magnesium needs through eating these foods, you can try an over the counter magnesium supplement.
Some key notes from the article include:
1. If you are taking magnesium, make sure you balance it with an equal amount of calcium intake as well. If you have too much of one or the other it can cause major problems.
2. Also, if you are taking a magnesium AND a calcium supplement, make sure to take them at separate times of the day. If you take them at the same time they might interfere with one another and defeat their benifitial purposes.

ReplyDeleteGreat topic, Kaya! I've had migraines off and on through most of my life, so I found this incredibly interesting.
