The Ministry of Health informed Hai Pa News Corporation:
Here is a post that should be taken to heart!
Magnesium is an essential mineral in the body, and it participates in many physiological processes such as maintaining the proper functioning of the muscles and nerves, balancing the sugar level, the functioning of the immune system and building bones. Magnesium deficiency may adversely affect diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, osteoporosis and neurological disorders.
The recommended amount for an adult per day is:
- For women: 310-320 mg
- For men: 400-420 mg
It is recommended to consume magnesium from natural food sources, which enable more efficient absorption and provide additional benefits.
According to MBA surveys (National Health and Nutrition Surveys), many people do not reach the recommended daily intake of magnesium. One of the reasons is an unbalanced diet, which includes ultra-processed food and is low in raw plant foods. In addition, an increase in the amount of desalinated water in Israel caused a significant reduction in intake Magnesium in drinking water.
So what do we do? To reach the recommended daily intake of magnesium, it is recommended to include in the menu:
- Whole grains (oats, quinoa)
- Legumes (beans, lentils)
- green vegetables (spinach, chard)
- Nuts and seeds (almonds, cashews, tahini)
These foods are rich in magnesium and also contain vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and antioxidants, which mainly contribute to the heart.
It is not about large amounts of food - for example, to increase the amount of magnesium by only 50 mg, you can eat:
- A spoonful of cashew nuts
- Half a cup of cooked lentils or chickpeas
- A tablespoon of tahini or avocado or a third of a cup of quinoa
Adopting this habit will make it possible to reach the recommended magnesium levels easily. These foods are part of the Mediterranean diet and in line with the National Dietary Guidelines, which has been shown to prevent chronic diseases and improve heart health.
For populations at risk it is recommended:
For populations at risk, such as people after a myocardial infarction, heart failure patients, diabetics, and people taking medications that lead to magnesium loss, it is recommended to consult a doctor to check the levels of magnesium in the blood and consider taking supplements if necessary under appropriate medical supervision.
The main reason for the lack of their magazine in Israel is... the Ministry of Health itself.
In every country the amount of magnesium in the water is fixed and there is no shortage. In Israel, not only is there no water, they add amounts of fluoride, which is known to be carcinogenic and causes calcium to escape.
Therefore, the Ministry of Health prevents foreign agendas from allegedly harming the population (see the entry 'Pfizer vaccines' and vaccines in general).
Hello, what about magnesium as a dietary supplement? I take pills at night every day with Tamar. I am an iron man athlete
And the most important thing is that you can get magnesium at a very high level from the salt of the Dead Sea (just go there and take it on the beaches in some places) or from the pink Himalayan salt sold in supermarkets.
Dear Rudy,
I think you got confused..
It is true that most of the magnesium comes from the food we eat. Those who do not eat correctly lose about 200 milligrams per day. Those who drink desalinated water lose only 15 milligrams per day compared to the 200 that are usually missing for those who do not get it from food. Those who drink what we call mineral water gain 15 more milligrams per day compared to desalinated water. Stop complaining about the salted water, which is not much different from so-called mineral water, and balance the food you eat.
I didn't understand the warning, can you explain? We are older people taking medication how much magnesium should we take and if there are preferred companies
What is this sketch? Since we switched to water desalination there is no magnesium in the water and Israel refuses to add it. The whole world is watching the position document of the Association of Cardiologists in Israel, how the desalination of water increased heart attacks by 500%
The main problem is that the lands of our country are depleted of magnesium, the water is desalinated. So vegetables and fruits grown in our country are low in magnesium as well as the drinking water. In addition, many people who suffer from an increase in acid in the esophagus, take for long periods of time medicines such as Nexium and others, whose function is to reduce the production of acid in the stomach. An acidic environment is essential for efficient absorption of magnesium. Those people suffer from magnesium deficiency diseases. Even in old age, the absorption of magnesium in the body decreases. Therefore, magnesium supplements may benefit most people. Warning: magnesium oxide is almost not absorbed by the body. Supplements that include it as a main component are worthless.
Some notes:
The water used for irrigation in agriculture partly comes from desalinated water, but it is not the only source, and of course varies from country to country. Most of the cashews (if not all) and other foods rich in magnesium are not grown in Israel at all, so it is not relevant either. But even if we say they were grown in the country - a lack of magnesium may damage crops and for this reason, and many others, farmers use fertilizer, additives and a host of other methods.
Regarding the supplements, in particular and especially magnesium, they can be almost as harmful as they can be helpful: their supervision is inconsistent and sometimes non-existent, they contain fillers/stabilizers/thickeners/anti-mobilization agents and other things that may accumulate in the body and cause a host of problems (liver, kidneys and blood vessels), and there is Danger of magnesium poisoning in part of the population. Even if you take magnesium supplements, the recommendation is not to take more than three months in a row and to take a break with long breaks.
Magnesium is a component that is very easy to get from the diet, there is no reason to take its supplements unless it is done on the doctor's recommendation. Just as written in the article - eat some nuts or seeds, a little tahini, try to incorporate greens into your food occasionally, and start eating legumes. Legumes are nature's gift to human health, rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, protein, fiber and other good things.
PS: The hysteria surrounding the lack of magnesium in water is also unclear, since the water provided barely 10% of the recommended daily intake.
Thank you, thank you
