Our bodies don’t produce magnesium naturally, so we need to consume it either through diet or supplements.  Magnesium is a ‘super’ mineral that aids many body processes, including energy production, muscle and nerve function, and DNA production.

This little ‘gem’ is generally safe for most people, but large doses can be unsafe and may lead to serious side effects.

Magnesium can help with a number of conditions, including:

1. Heart and blood vessel disease - Magnesium can improve the effectiveness of conventional treatment for heart failure and arrhythmia. 

2. High blood pressure - can help regulate blood pressure. 

3. Diabetes - may help manage the effects of type 2 diabetes. 

4. Migraines - has been known to alleviate the debilitating effects of migraine attacks.

5. Mental health - Magnesium can help balance moods and prevent depression and anxiety. 
6. Asthma - can relieve asthma symptoms by relaxing bronchial muscles and expanding airways. 

7. Bone health: Magnesium is important for bone structure. 

Please remember, supplements are not medicine! If in doubt, please check with your GP because it’s better to be safe than sorry, particularly if you are already on long-term medication.

Very true! We always find out the hard way when we already start developing niggles, sometimes even too late!

Does this explain why I am so happy when consuming chili? The only beans that I use are only black beans!
