Health Note - Magnesium

Beloved,

I pray that you may...be in health,...

3 John 1:2

"Most people are magnesium deficient.

If you drink soda,

 eat white bread,

white rice,

sugar,

saturated fats or

other processed foods – you’re most likely deficient.

It’s a challenge to avoid these foods all the time. But, at least we can replace needed vitamins and minerals when we need to.
According to a study from the University of Southern California School of Medicine, “Magnesium (Mg) deficiency commonly occurs in critical illness and correlates with a higher mortality and worse clinical outcome in the intensive care unit (ICU).”
