Medical Experts Highlight Symptoms of Magnesium Deficiency and Its Impact on Health
Medical professionals are raising awareness about the often-overlooked issue of magnesium deficiency, which can quietly develop over time and lead to various health problems. Dr. Divya Gopal, Additional Director of Internal Medicine at Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital, explains that magnesium is crucial for over 300 biological processes, including muscle and nerve function, energy production, and heart rhythm. Despite its importance, magnesium deficiency is common due to factors like high stress, poor diet, and certain medications. Symptoms such as persistent fatigue, muscle cramps, and mood changes often go unnoticed or are attributed to other causes. The deficiency can lead to more severe health issues like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease if left unaddressed.
