This very simple mineral that 80% of the population is missing so what I want to convey today is the importance of magnesium how you can get it how you can know how much you require in your body and and the incredible benefits from using this simple mineral magnesium is the most important mineral in the body, it may not be the mineral but there’s the most of but it is the most important

it’s a mineral that activates the, muscles and the nerves it’s a mineral, that attaches to ATP adenosine triphosphate to create the energy in the body so without magnesium you don’t have energy it helps to digest proteins carbohydrates and fats it actually is a building block for RNA and DNA it’s a precursor for neurotransmitters like serotonin it it does so much in the body but we haven’t heard much about it it’s not a drug it’s not a medication so it’s not something I learned about in medical school being a naturopath I learned more

about it in my naturopathic training.
