Reported by the National Institute of Health, magnesium maintains normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, ensures the integrity of the arterial wall by controlling blood pressure and keeps bones strong.
It also helps regulate blood sugar levels and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. The most advantageous forms of magnesium are avocados, mineral water and magnesium-L-asparate (500 - 1000 mg daily are recommended).
