Do you suffer from migraines a lot? High risk of magnesium deficiency

Do you have a lot of migraines or headaches? There is a good chance that a magnesium deficiency is the deeper underlying cause. Migraine - as shown by the work of Dr. Carolyn Dean - author of The Magnesium Miracle, is the result of a lack of magnesium. Magnesium prevents calcium from clotting in your blood, which would otherwise lead to blockages in your smallest capillaries - such as in your brain, and thus headaches. Interesting stuff. But what exactly is the case?

Minerals play a fundamental role in the bio-electrochemical processes that take place in our body at the cellular level. They create so-called potential differences in body fluids that initiate or - in their absence - stop certain chemical reactions. Without these minerals, these processes cannot take place or can take place much less efficiently. The body is built in such a way that it can easily cope with temporary mineral deficiencies. It only becomes a real problem when this temporality turns into long-term structural shortages, with all the associated health consequences.

According to nutrition, the human body needs at least 60 minerals out of a total of 90 essential nutrients. Substances that the body cannot make itself. No organism in this world can make minerals. Minerals are a given. It is what the dust of the earth is composed of. And everything that lives on this Earth comes from that. Literally.

In other words, in every organism, you should have all minerals or better elements (read more about this in this article about the periodic table), which occur on Earth must be able to find them in exactly the same proportions as they occur on Earth. So that also applies to humans. It is precisely this ratio between the minerals that is so important for our health. For example, it has now been found that the ratio between magnesium and calcium must be good, otherwise problems such as migraines will occur. This is because magnesium prevents calcium from clotting in your blood. A lack of magnesium causes tiny blockages in the capillaries in your brain, which in turn leads to severe headaches.

Dr. Carolyn Dean, author of The Magnesium Miracle, states, “As a result, magnesium levels in the brain are lowered. When magnesium is low, it is unable to do its job to counteract the clotting action of calcium on the blood. Tiny blood clots are said to clog up brain blood vessels, leading to migraines. Several other substances that help create blood clots are increased when magnesium is too low. Low brain magnesium promotes neurotransmitter hyperactivity and nerve excitation that can lead to headaches. Diet, stress and alcohol can also contribute to migraines. Magnesium relaxes blood vessels and allows them to dilate, reducing the spasms and constrictions that can cause migraines.”

But before you immediately reach for magnesium when you have another migraine attack, realize that would be nothing more than relieving symptoms. It may temporarily combat - if you're lucky, your migraines, but it's not a sustainable solution. To do this, you need to work towards an optimal balance. By simply replenishing all your stocks in the right proportions every day. This involves very small amounts, but because you do it every day, you can be sure that the balance will recover over time.

By the way, now that it's so hot, you sweat out more than average minerals from your body. That is why it is important to ensure supplementation right now.

As mentioned, minerals should be present in your body. The only effective way to get minerals is by eating plants (or meat from herbivorous animals). Only these minerals that a plant has absorbed from the soil are 100% absorbable by humans. And this is where the major problem lies.

The soil from which plants must obtain their minerals has become completely depleted worldwide and contains only a fraction of the number of minerals and other substances that were still in the soil in ancient times. As a result of modern intensive agriculture based on practices that are hundreds of years old, such as ploughing, for example. And the worst part is that this loss cannot be repaired one, two, three. These are long-term processes that require a lot of attention and a whole new look at agricultural practices. We have already reported here many times about the soil as a foundation for vital life.

But how do we solve this issue? The necessary agrarian reforms will take a long time. That's what SMPL is committed to. But what should you, as a consumer, do about the global mineral shortage in the meantime? We believe that SMPL 72 - or fulvic acid, is the purest, simplest and most effective solution. By taking just 10 drops a day in a glass of water or juice, you slowly but surely replenish your body's stores and the optimal balance is restored. Not only do you get 72 minerals, but also a whole range of other nutrients. All plant-based and therefore 100% absorbable.

Your migraine won't go away immediately (although the wonders aren't over yet), but you'll definitely notice the difference in some time. And who knows, you might even notice more things in a positive way. In any case, we wouldn't be surprised.
