  • Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body and plays an essential role in the body's general health. It supports the immune system, regulates blood sugar levels, and contributes to bone health.

The article from Times of India discusses the early warning signs of magnesium deficiency, particularly highlighting the importance for women to be vigilant about these symptoms. Magnesium is crucial for various bodily functions including muscle and nerve function, energy metabolism, and bone health. Symptoms of deficiency include muscle cramps, especially in the legs, which can be painful and frequent; fatigue and weakness due to magnesium's role in energy production; irregular heartbeats or palpitations as magnesium helps maintain a normal heart rhythm; mood changes like increased anxiety or depression because magnesium influences neurotransmitter function; and insomnia or poor sleep quality since magnesium aids in regulating sleep. The article emphasizes that while these symptoms can be indicative of other health issues, a magnesium deficiency should be considered, especially in women who might be at higher risk due to dietary habits, hormonal changes, or increased needs during pregnancy. It suggests that recognizing these signs early can lead to timely intervention through dietary adjustments or supplements, potentially preventing more severe health complications.
