Signals Our Body Sends To Tell We Are Not Healthy – Do Not Ignore Them!

Moles

Moles are usually harmless, but if you notice moles appearing after your skin has been exposed to sun, make sure you consult your doctor.

Gray hair (sooner than you turn 40)

If 50 percent of your hair turns gray in younger ages, and there is no similar case in your family history, you may be dealing with diabetes.

Cracked lips

This is commonly caused by temperature changes and wind. But, if you deal with this condition more often, you may have a fungal infection or vitamin B deficiency.

Swollen neck

You should most certainly not ignore this. Human neck swells as a result of thyroid malfunction, usually in women aged between 20 and 50.

Eye whites

They should be always white, as literal as it may sound. Of course, that does not apply in cases of insufficient sleep or cold. Yellow eye whites indicate jaundice or liver/bile related problems. If your eye whites are red, you may have hypertension or any viral disease.

Red palms

This is a sign of eczema, dermatitis or allergic reaction. Red palms sometimes indicate liver problems.

Eye brows

If you lose your eye brows suddenly, you may have problems with your thyroid gland, it could be either hyperthyreose or hypothyreose.

Changes in nails

Nails tell a lot about your health condition, and certain changes may indicate a wide number of ailments. Thin and cracking nails are oftentimes a matter of genes, but they may also indicate calcium deficiency. Improper thyroid function also causes changes in your nails.

What Is Your Headache Telling You? Warning Signs Your Headache Is Dangerous

Everyone's had a day in bed with a headache. Sometimes, admittedly, we did it to ourselves. A good night out is a great way to score a killer cranium the next day, and the only reason that pain isn't worrisome is that we all know how it happened. But what about those times when you don't know where your headache is from? Headaches, like most aches and pains, are the way your body tells you, "Hey, listen up dude, I need something". That "something" can be pretty benign, but it could be a sign of something more serious.

Thunderclap Headache Is Nothing To Clap About (Put Your Damn Hands Down)

These headaches are scary because they come out of effing nowhere. This baby has a severe and sudden onset and takes only seconds to reach maximum intensity. It can be an indicator of a number of health problems. The scariest of these is a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which can be life-threatening.

"Enforce This!" — This Guy's Head

There are many times in life when your head is going to just give you a big "nope" and keep you aching in the dark with a bucket. Some people risk head injury for a living and though this is a fact of life (hockey, boxing, football, etc. are not possible without risk of injury), pain needs to be monitored to keep serious problems from developing.

Rise And Shine! You Get A Headache For Breakfast!

If you're waking up wanting to rip your hair out BEFORE finding out you have nothing to wear, you may have a headache that needs attention. According to The National Headache Foundation, "Serious diseases may cause early morning awakening headaches. These diseases may include brain tumors, sleep apnea, and severe high blood pressure."

There Is Something In Medicine Known Simply As "The Worst Headache Of Your Life"

This is also known as a cluster headache, but you can easily find it putting "The Worst Headache Of Your Life" into Google because doctors literally call it that. It's unclear what causes these monsters, but they usually strike in one part of the head and make it nearly impossible to live a normal life until the headache decides to leave you alone.

All The Other Unusual Feels That You Get Above The Shoulders

It's easy to scar yourself when you look at these but don't worry, this is just to give you and your doctor something to talk about. Take note if you notice headache-related changes in vision, digestion, mood, neck tension and irritability.

A Chart And Everything! You're Welcome!

Like every important thing on the internet, there's a chart for that. Headaches can be serious or not, depending on what causes them. Having a visual way of describing your problem will help health-care professionals classify your headache accurately and get you the help you need (although, you're probably fine, don't freak out).

20 Deadly Cancer Symptoms Most Women Ignore

Routine tests are not that efficient when it comes to preventing cancer. Learn how to listen to your body. Notice every change, every sign that may indicate that something is wrong. Here are 20 important signs that women often overlook:

Wheezing and shortness of breath

Patients diagnosed with lung cancer say that this is the first symptom they remember is being unable to catch a breath.

Chronic cough and chest pain

Leukemia, lung tumors and other types of cancer sometimes cause symptoms that resemble a severe cough or bronchitis. Patients with lung cancer say that their chest pain had sometimes extended up to their shoulder or down their arm.

Frequent fever and infection

These may indicate leukemia, a kind of cancer that attacks blood cells and develops in the bone marrow. The marrow produces abnormal white blood cells and affects the body’s ability to fight infections.

Difficulty swallowing

It may be a symptom of esophageal or throat cancer. In some cases, it is considered as an early symptom of lung cancer.

Swollen lymph nodes or lumps on the neck, underarm or groin

These may be a sign of changes in the lymphatic system, which can oftentimes be a symptom of cancer.

Excessive bruising and bleeding that does not stop

These are a sign that there is something wrong with the platelets and red blood cells. In some cases, this can indicate leukemia. After some period, the number of leukemia cells becomes a lot higher than that of red blood cells and platelets, and the blood cannot perform its function to carry oxygen and clot.

Weakness and fatigue

General fatigue and weakness may be a sign of many kinds of cancer. Consider any other weird symptom that you have in order to determine whether it is cancer. Consult your doctor every time you feel exhausted for no reason, also in cases when proper sleeping does not help either.

Bloating or abdominal weight gain

Unexplained abdominal bloating may sometimes be a sign of ovarian cancer. It occurs suddenly and continues on and off for a long time.

Feeling of fullness and being unable to eat

In some cases, women diagnosed with ovarian cancer have no appetite and cannot eat, even when they have not had a decent meal for some time.

Pelvic and abdominal pain

Pain and cramps in the abdomen, in combination with bloating, may indicate ovarian cancer. Leukemia also causes abdominal pain, which occurs as a result of the enlarged spleen.

Rectal bleeding or bloody stool

This is a common symptom of colorectal cancer. Consult your doctor if you notice blood in your stool, and schedule a colonoscopy as soon as possible.

Unexplained weight loss

Sudden and unexplained weight loss is an early symptom of colon and similar digestive cancers. It may also indicate a cancer that has metastasized to the liver, which decreases appetite and affects body’s ability to eliminate waste.

Upset stomach and stomachache

Frequent stomach cramps and upset stomach are a common symptoms of colorectal cancer.

A red, sore, and swollen breast

These may be a sign of inflammatory breast cancer. Consult your doctor about any weird or sudden change to your breasts.

Nipple changes

Before being diagnosed with breast cancer, most women remember having their nipples flattened, inverted, or turned sideways.

Unusually heavy and painful periods, or bleeding between periods

This is an early sign of endometrial or uterine cancer. Schedule a transvaginal ultrasound if your periods are heavier than usual.

Swollen features on the face

Patients diagnosed with lung cancer often experience puffiness, swelling, or redness on the face. Small lung tumor cells block the blood vessels in the chest, and the blood cannot flow freely from the head and the face.

Sores or skin lumps that do not heal, create a crust and bleed easily

Learn more about the different types of skin cancer or melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Check your skin for any growths and spots.

Changes in nails

Sudden changes to the fingernails may indicate several kinds of cancer. Brown or black streak or dots under the nail may indicate skin cancer. “Clubbing” or enlarged ends of fingers and curved nails may indicate lung cancer. Pale and white nails may be a symptom of liver cancer.

Pain in the back and in the lower right side

This is an early sign of liver cancer. Back pain is a common symptom of breast cancer, because tumors press the chest. The pain sometimes occurs when the cancer reaches the spine or the ribs.

Here is what Dr Mercola explains:

“Whether you are a man or a woman, it’s important to watch for any unusual changes in your body and energy levels in order to detect any signs of cancer early on. The sooner you notice there’s a problem, the sooner you can begin to take the steps necessary to promote healing within your body.

Of course, ideally you should follow an anti-cancer lifestyle even before you notice any symptoms, as prevention is the best route when it comes to most chronic diseases. It is not unusual for 10 or more years to pass between exposure to a cancer-causing agent (tobacco, chemicals, radiation, cell phones, poor nutrition, etc.) and detectable cancer.”

This means you have enough time to affect the progression of the disease

Cancer is observed as a group of diseases associated with abnormal cells that grow and spread uncontrollably. Experts explain that “curing” the disease means controlling the growth of such cells and stop their spreading.

Human body has the ability to heal itself and this potency depends on your daily routines, dietary habits, physical activity, sun exposure and proper sleep. Healthy lifestyle, accompanied with the ability to cope with emotional stress, helps the body to maintain a normal and healthy balance.

Ignoring these health and lifestyle principles is not the only problem that is associated with cancer. Conventional medicine suggests applying invasive and risky treatments, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.

It may be hard for you to believe, but latest landmark studies have found that certain cancers, even invasive cases, may disappear without any treatment, and this is absolutely possible, even though people cannot understand it.

What is even worse, experts believe that cancer patients are more likely to die from chemo and other cancer treatments than the disease itself.

Cancer deaths run at alarming death rates, and according to Dr Tullio Simoncini, an Italian oncologist, the mortality rate of the disease is 90 percent. This says much about the effectiveness or if you prefer, the lack of such treatments. Despite this fact, they are still considered as a gold standard of cancer treatment. Cancer rates keep rising and that is what worries experts most.

According to the American Cancer Society data, about one and half million new cases of cancer are expected in the US. This number does not include the cases of basal and squamous cell skin cancer, which is about a million.

More than 1,500 people will die from cancer every day, which is one out of every four deaths in the US

According to the latest estimations, by 2030, about 26 million people a year may be diagnosed, and 17 million people will die from the disease. But, many of these cases can be prevented.

The American Cancer Society says that about a third of the expected 562,000 cancer deaths will be linked to obesity, physical inactivity, and malnutrition. Tobacco use will be the cause of another 169,000 death cases.

The lack of vitamin D from sun exposure is another commonly overlooked cause of cancer, and the good news is that it can be easily changed. Optimizing vitamin D levels will make about half of the cancer cases disappear.

What should you do if you suspect you have cancer?

The first step you should do is seek a guidance of a trusted and knowledgeable natural health care practitioner. This is a personal decision, and you should at least keep an open mind on it.

Most people decide to go for conventional cancer treatments like radiation or chemo, because they simply believe these are the only option they have. Luckily, there are much healthier and safer options, like baking soda, for instance, and we bet that you already have some in your kitchen pantry.

Sodium bicarbonate offers a natural form of chemotherapy. It kills off cancer cells without affecting normal cells, and of course it does not have any of the side effects of costs of regular chemo treatment. As Dr Mark Sircus explains, the only problem with this method is that it is super cheap. It cannot bring any profit which is why no one is eager to promote it.

Dr Simoncini has had an amazing experience regarding this method. According to him, 99 percent of all bladder and breast cancers can be healed within just 6 days, of course, without any surgery, chemo or radiation. His treatment involves using a local infiltration device, like a catheter, which would carry sodium bicarbonate directly to the affected tissue in the breast or bladder.

In this video you can watch how the treatment works.

Dr Hamer’s German New Medicine (GNM) is another similar approach. It is based on the idea that every disease, even cancer, is caused by a sudden shock, and that every disease can be treated and cured by eliminating such underlying emotional traumas. Dr Hammer refused to disavow his findings and that brought him a prison sentence, because he was accused of treating his patients with unortodox technique. He lives in exile and seeks for asylum from persecution.

Keep your vitamin D level in optimal range

Cancer patients should understand that optimizing their vitamin D level is of crucial importance. Watch this vitamin D lecture and learn more about the correct levels.

Calcitriol is the most important steroid hormone in the human body. If your vitamin D level is at high range, this hormone is produced in large amounts in your bodily tissues. Unfortunately, most cancer patients suffer from vitamin D deficiency.

Calcitrol is also the activated form of vitamin D. It protects against cancer, because it induces cell differentiation and controls cell proliferation. Patients who are vitamin D deficient cannot make enough activated vitamin D. Large amounts of this vitamin are needed to control cell proliferation, which helps in reducing cancer. This methtod has no side effects and it is free.

If you have cancer or know someone that has been diagnosed with some kind of cancer, or even if you suspect you have cancer, watch this vitamin D lecture. It will help you raise your vitamin D level until you reach the therapeutic range.

12 tips on how to reduce the risk of developing cancer

As we already said, anti-cancer lifestyle will help you stay healthy and maintain the balance in your body. It will also help you prevent cancer. Here are some useful tips on how to improve your lifestyle and start living a healthier life:

Optimize your vitamin D level. Get enough sunlight and consider proper and healthy supplementation whenever you cannot walk in the sun. If you have cancer and you take your vitamin D orally, check your vitamin D blood level regularly.
Reduce or completely eliminate any processed foods, sugar and grain carbohydrates. The same applies to whole unprocessed organic grains, because they are quickly converted into insulin and leptin, and that is the last thing your body needs when it comes to treating and preventing cancer.
Monitor your fasting levels of insulin and leptin. That is the end test and you can easily check it with the help of cheap blood tests.
Normalize the ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fats. Increase the intake of high-quality animal-based omega-3 fats, such as krill oil and avoid processed vegetable oil.
Stay active. Exercising decreases insulin levels. Controlling your insulin levels is essential, as it will help you prevent cancer.
Sleep enough.
Make your diet plan according to your nutritional type. This principle has a powerful anti-cancer effect, but unfortunately, it has been long underappreciated. This is one of the basic anti-cancer strategy in many clinics.
Stay away from environmental toxins. Avoid pesticides, household chemical-laden cleaning products, synthetic air fresheners and polluted areas.
Be careful about the radiation produced by cell phones, cell towers, base stations and WiFi stations. Provide proper protection.
Do not fry or charbroil your meals. Boiling, poaching an steaming are much healthier options.
Use a tool that will permanently reprogram your neurological short-circuiting that may activate your cancer genes. According to CDC, emotions are responsible for about 85 percent of the disease. This may be more important than any other physical factor, so make sure you address this. The Meridian Tapping Technique is considered as an excellent approach.
One third of your food should be raw. Eating 85 percent of your food raw is much better, of course, if you have no problems achieving it.

You will not find these and similar approaches and cancer-preventing treatments elsewhere, because, yes, conservative researchers have not formally ‘proven’ their efficacy. But, did you know that 85 percent of the conventional treatments used today are not proven neither?

Think about this. With a minimum effort, these tips can help you reduce the risk of developing cancer and recover if you have it. Give yourself the opportunity to live better. You can only gain, and it is your life that matters most.

3 Warning Signs You Have Adrenal Fatigue (And What To Do About It)

Does this sound like you: irritable when you’re hungry, sudden periods of intense food cravings, exploding over little mistakes or problems? Welcome to the world of adrenal exhaustion.

Our adrenal glands make the stress hormones, adrenaline, and cortisol. Excess stress can exhaust your adrenal gland, leaving you feeling anxious and irritable, tired—sometimes with insomnia, addicted to sugar, and overweight. In fact, many people in marriage counseling and those seeing divorce attorneys often have adrenal exhaustion. Cortisol causes insulin resistance and can contribute to weight gain. This chemical also maintains blood sugar during stress. Because of this, adrenal exhaustion results in lower blood sugars and can trigger episodes of anxiety and irritability.

Your Adrenal Stress Handler Glands

Your adrenal glands sit on top of each kidney and are actually two different glands in one. The central portion of the gland makes epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) and is controlled by the part of your brain called the autonomic nervous system. This allows adrenaline to be activated in less than a second during times of stress (think of a gazelle as it sprints when it sees a lion—or you when someone cuts you off in traffic). This part of the nervous system is often in overdrive for people under heavy, and sometimes daily, stress—even contributing to such symptoms as hot and cold sweats; cold, sweaty hands; and panic attacks.

The outer part of the adrenal gland is called the adrenal cortex and makes many important hormones. These kick in more slowly than adrenaline, and support your body’s ability to handle stress over long periods of time. These include:

Cortisol. The adrenal glands increase their production of cortisol in response to stress. Cortisol raises your blood sugar and blood pressure and moderates immune function. This is the key hormonal deficiency associated with adrenal exhaustion, and the one we will primarily focus on.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Although its mechanism of action is not clear, DHEA is the most abundant hormone produced by the adrenal cortex. DHEA-S levels normally decline with age, but may drop prematurely in adrenal exhaustion. Patients often feel much better when their DHEA-S levels are brought to the optimal range. This hormone, though available in over-the-counter form, is best used under the guidance of a holistic practitioner, as too much can cause facial hair growth, even in women!

Aldosterone. This hormone helps to keep salt and water in the body, and helps to control blood volume and blood pressure.

Testosterone. Half of a woman’s testosterone comes from the adrenals, so adrenal exhaustion can cause testosterone deficiency with loss of libido.

Why Your Physician Looks at You Cross Eyed

A major cause of confusion is not knowing that adrenal fatigue is different from the medical condition called adrenal insufficiency (also called Addison’s Disease). The latter is associated with an almost complete failure of the adrenal glands and is considered a life-threatening emergency— complete with having to wear a Med Alert Bracelet.

In the past, Addison’s Disease used to occur predominantly as a result of tuberculosis, but nowadays is caused mostly by autoimmune illnesses. This is what your physician is taught to think of when someone mentions adrenal weakness or insufficiency. Most physicians have never heard of adrenal fatigue or exhaustion, and when you mention this they think you mean life-threatening Addison’s disease. So they look at you like you’re crazy. In fact, you are most likely going to be told that you are simply either depressed or that there’s nothing wrong with you– often with the implication from the physician being that if they don’t know what’s wrong with you, you’re crazy!

So, in standard medicine you either have a total, life-threatening adrenal failure, or completely healthy adrenals. It’s black or white—there is no in-between. For adrenal blood tests, you have to be in the lowest 0.001 percent before it’s considered abnormal. Because of this, most people suffering from adrenal exhaustion get no help from conventional doctors.

Adrenal exhaustion is largely a disease of modern life. Because there is no test that defines this condition, it is not life threatening, and there is no expensive medication to treat it. There has been very little published research in this area, and our understanding of it is based predominantly on the clinical experience of health practitioners. Nonetheless, holistic practitioners around the country (see Holistic-Board.org) are finding that this problem is growing at an alarming rate.

Why Is Adrenal Exhaustion Becoming More Common?

If you think back to high-school biology,you may remember something called the fight or-flight response, which occurs during times of stress. During the Stone Age, when a caveman met an animal that wanted to eat him, the caveman’s adrenal glands activated the adrenal adrenaline and cortisol systems and they either fought or ran. This reaction helped the caveman survive, and he was able to burn off the excess hormones through the fight or the run, and then had a couple of weeks or months to recover before facing the next major stress.

In the 21st century, people often experience these same stress reactions every few minutes. For example, picture driving to work, and being late while you are delayed in heavy traffic. Every time you hit ared light or pull up behind a car that has slowed down, your adrenal glands’ fight-or-flight reaction goes off and floods your brain with cortisol and adrenaline. Then it goes off again at work when you find your boss waiting for you. Not to mention when that guy cuts you off in traffic on your way home, or you see somebody with road rage on your tail.

The stress of the recent recession has been another major stress as some people take on extra work to make ends meet, and others stress over having no work at all. Having a severe illness or taking care of a family member can also tax your adrenals. The stress reaction going off repeatedly during the day can then trigger adrenal exhaustion over time.

Another major contributor to our stress levels? The 24-hour news networks. When I was younger, the media mantra was “Sex Sells.” Now it has changed to “Fear Sells.” We are inundated with a constant flow of “news” that includes war, death, politics, fear, and more fear.

The Sugar Rollercoaster

The main job of cortisol is to maintain blood sugar during stress, when your body is burning sugar for quick energy. Because of this, when people have adrenal exhaustion, they get symptoms of low blood sugar. The hallmark symptom? Anxiety or irritability when hungry. Have you heard the phrase “Feed me NOW or I’ll kill you”?

These symptoms lead you to look for something to eat—especially sugar— in the same way that somebody who is suffocating fights for their next breath. Sugar gives you a quick burst of energy, and your brain tells you “if you eat sugar right now, you’ll be ok.” So if you’re driving down the road and you tell your honey you’re hungry, and they tell you there’s a nice restaurant half-hour up the road, and you tell them they’ll be dead by then—you likely have low blood sugar from adrenal exhaustion.

Cortisol: Too high, too low, or both?

Your body makes a steady amount of cortisol on a daily basis, which in turn, helps to keep your body regulated. However during times of stress, cortisol levels can double or triple, leaving you with excess amounts that may not be burned off.

During the initial phase of chronic stress, cortisol levels are often elevated. This can result in weight gain, along with anxiety, depression, and even loss of bone density. As adrenal exhaustion progresses over years, cortisol levels can then drop too low; this is when people start feeling fatigued, and irritable when hungry.

An important function of your body is to maintain cortisol levels that are high in the morning (around 18 to 22 mcg/dL) for optimal energy, and low at bedtime (less than 5 mcg/dL ) so you can sleep. This day/night cycle is called the circadian rhythm.

In adrenal exhaustion, we often see that cortisol levels are too low during the day, leaving you exhausted and with low blood sugars. We also find they are too high at night, leaving you wide awake at bedtime. Because of this and despite needing treatment to increase cortisol levels during the day, some people also need natural remedies at night to lower cortisol levels—using Ashwaganda and Phosphatidylserine supplements—so they can sleep.

A MUST READ: Warning Signs of a Heart Attack Can be Found on Your Eyelids

The study published in the British Medical Journal revealed its findings that show a link between heart diseases and a health condition known as xanthelasma (xanthelasma palpebrarum). This condition appears as a sharply demarcated yellowish deposit of fat underneath the skin, usually on or around the eyelids. These yellow formations occur in the upper or lower eyelid near the inner corner of the eye.

The connection between heart disease and xanthelasma

Both sexes, and especially after 40, can suffer from this condition. These yellow growths are the result of cholesterol deposits and indicate a higher level of cholesterol in almost half of the patients affected with this condition.

People with xanthelasma usually seek medical help because these growths are unattractive, otherwise, they are soft and painless and do not affect vision.

In fact, without considering them as a warning of a more serious condition, and despite their re-emergence after removal, people most often decide to remove these yellowish growths because their appearance is far from pleasing to the eye.

Scientific evidence

The link between heart disease and xanthelasma has been scientifically confirmed by a recent Danish research. The professor who led the team, Mr. Tibjaerg Hansen came to conclusions that will alter the way we see these seemingly harmless growths, which are ignored as irrelevant by both patients and doctors.

Women with xanthelasma have an 8% higher risk of heart attack, as opposed to those who are not affected by this phenomenon. It has been proved that women have a lower risk of heart disease than men. Moreover, researchers in this study explained that xanthelasma allows accurate prediction of heart disease in this particular group of patients.

On the other hand, it has been proven that men are more prone to heart disease. Men affected with xanthelasma are at a 12% higher risk of heart attack, and men aged 70-79 are at an even higher risk.

This research discovered that the presence of xanthelasma cases in each age group indicates an increased probability of heart disease, heart attack and death. Both men and women who have these yellow growths on their eyelids are likely to experience a heart attack, and in 10- year period, they may even be life- threatened.

The research concluded that xanthelasma, independent of other factors such as high cholesterol, obesity, smoking and high blood pressure, may indicate a severe atherosclerosis, heart attack, heart disease and death.

So, in case you notice that these yellow growths appear on your eyelids, it is highly advisable that you immediately check your cholesterol levels.

Warning Signs of Magnesium Deficiency Most People Ignore and How to Cure It

Studies show that even more than 90% people are magnesium deficient, which makes it a popular and important issue. Namely, it affects a number of health conditions, such as the immunity, metabolism, blood pressure and others. It is also responsible for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body.

There are a few reasons for the growing number of magnesium deficiency cases. The poor soil is responsible for plants low in magnesium and animals as well, as they consume these plants. Chlorine and fluoride in the water attach to the magnesium and that is why the water is poor in magnesium.

Caffeine and sugar also reduce the magnesium level, and we consume them on a daily basis. Magnesium deficiency can lead to various health issues and thus negatively affect our entire body.

High blood pressure/Hypertension

A research conducted on the University of Harvard found people with proper magnesium level to have normal blood pressure. It also confirmed that the risk of high blood pressure was 70% lower in women with proper or higher magnesium levels.

Some other studies also concluded that magnesium supplements can lead to blood pressure reduction.

Bone health

Magnesium is proven to be equally important for bone health as calcium, and if one lacks it, the bones will undoubtedly suffer in many ways.

Vitamin D needs Magnesium in order to improve the absorption of calcium. That is why it is quite important to have enough magnesium intakes when taking vitamin D as this vitamin reduces the magnesium levels.

Muscle spasms and cramps

Magnesium deficiency causes muscle stiffness, so it leads to cramps and spasms. The problem can be solved instantly by magnesium intake.

Arteries calcification

Arteries calcification is related to hearth problems and is one of the most dangerous medical conditions caused by magnesium deficiency. What’s more, patients who have suffered from heart attack are injected with magnesium chloride to stop the calcification and blood clotting.

Anxiety and depression

Magnesium hangs out in the synapse between two neurons, together with calcium and glutamate. The NMDA receptor is activated and the magnesium defends this receptor. In cases of magnesium deficiency, the receptor is without its defender which can lead to neuron damage and cell death. This problem is quite serious and difficult to be solved.

Low energy

You will lack energy on cellular level without magnesium, for it is needed in processes which create the ATP energy within the cells. This will bring about lack of desire, low energy, fatigue and other issues.

Hormone problems

As the estrogen and progesterone levels in women increase, the magnesium level decreases.

That is the reason why pregnant women suffer from cramps in the legs and also in the second half of their menstrual cycle when estrogen and progesterone are also higher and magnesium level is lower.

The need to consume chocolate can be a sign that you have low magnesium level as the chocolate contains magnesium. Women who experience problems with PMS and cramps are advised to take magnesium supplements before the symptoms begin.

Deficiencies of other minerals

Magnesium is critical for proper use of many nutrients, as Vitamin K and D, potassium and calcium. If you use magnesium supplements your body will absorb everything it needs more easily.

Pregnancy complaints

Magnesium is usually used against hypertension and cramps during pregnancy, against headache and to protect against preterm labor. Due to hormone imbalance, magnesium level can affect the health and the mood during pregnancy.

Sleep problems

Magnesium is essential for proper function of the GABA receptors in the brain, because GABA is a neurotransmitter that allows the brain to go into restful phase. Magnesium can also improve the sleep, since it can help in defeating insomnia as it helps in relaxing the body.

How to cure magnesium deficiency

There are magnesium supplements as pills or solutions, but although they can be effective, they can also cause digestive and kidney problems. Therefore, you need to turn on nature and its favorable treatments.

Topical magnesium

You can benefit from magnesium by using it topically. Magnesium solution can be applied on the skin and absorbed in proper amounts. In this way the magnesium goes right into the tissue and the blood which reloads the body’s proper magnesium levels more rapidly and restores the kidney function as well.

You should also try to consume foods abundant in magnesium:

Avocado
Almonds
Figs
Spinach
Banana
Black beans
Chard
Pumpkin seeds
Dark chocolate
