4. Minerals – catalysts of youth

Calcium is self-education.Never miss the video on calcium, it is very important.Just calcium, a familiar topic, and I'll start with magnesium.In fact, magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body, and it is involved, imagine, in 350 types of biochemical reactions, without magnesium they sit and get bored, and don’t go, don’t go at all, because they’ve run out of magnesium.The magnesium is gone, biochemical reactions do not occur.The most unpleasant thing is that the main biochemical reaction is the release of pure energy, which is like currency for all cellular affairs.They stop, that is, it is impossible to obtain energy from an ATP molecule if there is no magnesium in the reaction system, so now students are taught not just to say “ATP energy molecule,” but magnesium-ATP, that is, magnesium-dependent energy.Therefore, we will start with magnesium, which is not such a popular topic yet.Now a large number of people, thank God, have begun to add calcium to their diet, but fewer people pay attention to magnesium.In fact, 90-95% of people suffer from magnesium deficiency.People can even use supplements, but the supplements are not of the quality they need and not in the form they need, so there is still a shortage.

Firstly, because with age you need a little more magnesium than the average norms prescribe, I’ll tell you now, and secondly, most magnesium in foods is very poorly absorbed.For example, in order for magnesium sulfate to enter the bloodstream, it must be administered intravenously, but if magnesium sulfate is used orally, then it is simply a saline laxative; such magnesium sulfate will not enter the bloodstream.And it turns out that when we have some group of people with chronic pathology, these are those who made it to the hospital.40% of people in hospital have a colossal magnesium deficiency, but those in intensive care – 70% have a magnesium deficiency, and acute coronary syndrome is three centimeters before death – 90% of people have a magnesium deficiency.Come on, today we will look for magnesium in basic foods, how much of what you need to eat in order to still get the daily requirement of magnesium.

It is believed that magnesium is needed 350 milligrams per day for boys and 300 milligrams for girls - these are the official norms.Actually 400-800 milligrams.The older a person is, the worse he absorbs everything, including magnesium, so the dose should be higher.And food products themselves are now much poorer in microelements.Well, let's say we only need 300 milligrams of magnesium today.How much cashews should I eat (cashews are the record holder for magnesium)?100 grams of cashews contain 270 milligrams of magnesium.How many cashews should I eat today to get 300 milligrams of magnesium?It’s clear that a little more than 100 grams, and then you get your daily dose of magnesium from cashews.
