5 Huge Health Benefits From Eating Magnesium Rich Foods

Thank you for this important article! I read with interest. People with heart disease can greatly benefit from increasing the intake of magnesium in their diet.

However, those who have impaired kidney function must take caution. On dialysis, magnesium is not cleared by the dialysis machine. And for people who have increased BUN and Creatinine (earlier stages of Chronic Kidney Disease), the ability of the kidney to clear magnesium from the bloodstream is decreased. Signs of magnesium that is too high are muscle weakness, mental slowing, and respiratory failure due to weakened muscles of breathing. So this article is for 'almost everyone'. For those with a nephrologist or someone 'watching your labs' on the kidney, think again before you follow this advise.

Other things to avoid--Milk of Magnesia, ibuprofen, and all other non-steroidal antiinflammatories. Also be cautious about the antibiotic Gentamicin too. Namaste.
