Most likely, you don't keep an eye on whether you meet the standard of your daily magnesium needs.
You will undoubtedly pay more attention to sugar and fat.
Unless you have a VIT.D shortage.
Even though you only need a little of that, you may develop a shortage of it, and magnesium is an essential mineral, so a shortage brings complaints.

Magnesium plays a role in about 300 chemical reactions that keep us supple.
Magnesium deficiency is sometimes discovered late.
This is mainly because early symptoms are more vague.

Symptoms of nausea, fatigue or loss of appetite can easily be linked to other shortages.
The best way to absorb enough magnesium remains, of course, healthy, varied foods.
Cereals, legumes, nuts, seeds, and green leafy vegetables are especially high in magnesium.

When it comes to natural resources, you don't have to worry about too much magnesium.
But if you take supplements to your daily needs-320 milligrams per day for women aged 31 years and older and 420 mg for men of the same age, you can overdo it.
Stay at 350 mg or less per day out of supplements (and watch for medicines that contain magnesium, such as some laxatives) or you may experience nasty side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal cramps.

The tricky part is actually magnesium deficiency testing.
Most magnesium in the body is in the cells or bone, so running a blood test can provide a lot of useful information.
A doctor who suspects a deficiency will first try to estimate how much you get from the diet.

It takes a while for a real shortage to occur.
Getting too little magnesium won't really lead to many complaints in the short term because our kidneys have a way to hold magnesium instead of excreting in the urine.
Over a longer period of time, however, magnesium deficiency can lead to the following unpleasant side effects:
