People from all over the world have started understanding the importance of magnesium and therapy with Magnesium chloride flakes in Australia has been catching popularity at a fast pace now.
Why is Magnesium deficiency getting common?
Some experts also suggest that deficiency of magnesium is one of the most widely spread diseases all over the world, due to the change in lifestyle and environment. Here are some of the common reasons for depleting level of magnesium.
Worsened soil condition: we humans have exploited our planet earth and with the intention to grow more food, farmers are using more pesticides and chemicals while farming. Extensive use of chemicals and pesticides has reduces the magnesium composition of soil, this reduced the composition of magnesium from the food we consume.
Filtered water: water pollution is on the all-time high and we are relying on highly purified water, but are you aware of the fact that most of the filtered water we are consuming lacks vital minerals and vitamins (including magnesium).
Caffeine and sugar: Caffeine and sugar work as an insulator to deplete the body’s magnesium level, so if you are someone who requires at least 2-3 cups of coffee daily then you should start worrying about magnesium levels.
