Studies show that almost 50% of people in Western countries do not get enough magnesium from their diet. It is important to know that a low level of magnesium in the body is associated with a number of health problems, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease, according to a documentary presented by Hotnews.
Magnesium deficiency can cause a variety of unpleasant symptoms, including fatigue, muscle spasms, palpitations, sleep disturbances, anxiety and irritability. A lack of magnesium can also contribute to a weakened immune system and affect bone health.
Causes of magnesium deficiency can include insufficient dietary intake of this mineral, but also absorption problems in the intestines or excessive losses of magnesium, such as those caused by certain medications or conditions (inflammatory bowel disease, kidney disease, type 2 diabetes ).
The consequences of this deficiency can have a significant impact on health. These can include heart problems, high blood pressure, osteoporosis and other complications. Magnesium deficiency can also worsen the symptoms of pre-existing conditions.
Other nutritional deficiencies that can affect women’s health are: A lack of Omega-3 fatty acids can cause symptoms such as chronic inflammation, heart problems, mood disorders and cognitive dysfunction. Causes may include a diet low in omega-3 rich foods or absorption difficulties. Consequences may include an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, excessive inflammation, and impairment of mental and cognitive health; Lack of vitamin C: can cause symptoms such as fatigue, muscle weakness, bleeding gums and dry skin. The main causes include a diet deficient in foods rich in vitamin C and some medical conditions that can affect the absorption of this vitamin. Consequences include decreased immunity, the onset of scurvy and general health impairment;
Insufficient protein intake: In the case of very restrictive or deficient diets, women can experience protein deficiencies, which can lead to decreased muscle mass, weakened immune systems, problems with tissue regeneration, decreased hormone function and, in severe cases, serious health conditions such as protein malnutrition.
