Do you take calcium and magnesium regularly? If you don?t, perhaps its high time that you thought deeply about including these two minerals in your body. I can guarantee you that once you are through with this article and are made aware of the many benefits that they can give, including them among your regular vitamins will be a no-brainer.
For instance, do you know that calcium and magnesium are among the two most important minerals in our body. Not only do they contribute a great deal to proper nutrition, they improve our cardiovascular system and strengthen our bones and muscles.
Even without a regular intake of calcium and magnesium, both minerals are flowing generously in our body, especially in our blood and in our bones. But we need more of them. The reason for this is that not having of these two essentials make us susceptible to a host of possible ailments. Recent studies have shown that you might as well add anxiety to that list.
However, despite their role in our overall good health, studies have shown that most Americans are simply not getting enough of calcium and magnesium, and certainly not at the right level. These studies indicate that Americans get only three-fourths of the Recommended Daily Allowance for calcium and only two-thirds of the required RDA for magnesium. The fact is that these two are usually the essential minerals that our bodies lack the most.
Lacking calcium and magnesium can make us feel anxiety and fear, sometimes for no apparent reason and certainly not because we expect or anticipate that something bad is going to happen. We just feel fearful because we lack calcium and magnesium.
In addition, a lack of calcium can lead to cancer and hypertension as well as to joint and periodontal disorders. On the other hand, a lack of magnesium can lead to bouts of depression and induce insomnia. These are both well-known by-products of anxiety.
Also, if you combine magnesium with calcium, which is also a powerful muscle relaxant, the combination creates an overall sense of calm and well-being. So stock up on your calcium and magnesium minerals now.
