Magnesium Supplementation
Magnesium is an essential mineral which is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including energy production, transmission of nerve impulses, regulation of body temperature, detoxification, and formation of healthy bones and teeth. It also aids in the body’s absorption of calcium. As if this wasn’t enough, magnesium is involved in protein synthesis, muscle function and normal parathyroid function. It prevents the development of osteoporosis, coronary artery disease, stroke, constipation, diabetes, high blood pressure, migraines, kidney stones, gallstones, insomnia, depression, anxiety, and also enhances the bioavailability of cholesterol and vitamin B6. Women also gain relief from the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and menopause when they have sufficient levels of magnesium.
Be careful not to oversupplement with magnesium, because in large doses it can cause low blood pressure, muscle weakness, fatigue, diarrhea and nausea. Magnesium can also interact with some heart medications, antibiotics and diuretics. Anyone with significant disease or illness should be evaluated by a physician before taking magnesium supplements.
Magnesium can be found in whole grains, fish, leafy green vegetables, dark chocolate and nuts (particularly almonds), but it is difficult to get the recommended daily allowance from food sources alone. You can take 400 milligrams per day in two or three divided doses. Chelated forms, which are forms ending in “-ate” (citrate, taurate, glycinate) tend to be better absorbed by the body and are preferred over other forms. There are also magnesium topical formulations available which some say is a more readily absorbed form.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Some Of My Favorite Quotes About Love…
Love is everything it is cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it… It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more.
– Erica Jong
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,
While loving someone deeply gives you courage.
– Lao Tzu
Caresses, expressions of one sort or another, are necessary to the life of the affections, as leaves are to the life of trees. If they are wholly restrained, love will die at the roots.
– Nathaniel Hawthorne
Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
― Robert A. Heinlein
You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect – you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break – her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.
― Bob Marley
If I had a flower for every time I thought of you…I could walk through my garden forever.
― Alfred Tennyson

What Is Folic Acid?
Folic acid is one of the B vitamins which is essential for the formation of new cells as well as the formation of DNA. The natural form is known as folate and is found in foods such as leafy green vegetables, asparagus, lentils, yeast, mushrooms, organ meats, bananas, melons, lemons, orange juice and tomato juice. Most people do not get adequate amounts of folate from foods sources, and the body does not assimilate the natural form as readily as folic acid, which is the manmade form.
The most well known use of folic acid as a supplement is in women who are trying to get pregnant and in pregnant women. Folic acid is documented as a safeguard against neural tube defects which occur very early in prenatal development. The risk of neural tube defects is reduced by 50 to 75 percent in women who take at least 400 micrograms of folic acid daily for at least one month before conception and throughout the first trimester of pregnancy.
Women who have sufficient intake of folic acid and folate also have significantly reduced risk of developing high blood pressure later in life. It is believed that folic acid reduces the risk of high blood pressure by causing blood vessels to relax, thus improving circulation.
Folic acid is used in treating folic acid deficiency, poor intestinal nutrient absorption, ulcerative colitis, liver disease, alcoholism, and end-stage kidney disease. It is also used to treat anemia and heart disease, memory loss, vitiligo, nerve pain, muscle pain, depression, age-related hearing loss, Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis and restless legs syndrome. It is also used topically to treat gum infections and gum disease. Additionally, folic acid can be used in a preventative manner for age-related macular degeneration, colon cancer, and cervical cancer.
There are some side effects associated with high doses of folic acid, such as diarrhea, stomach upset, abdominal cramps, irritability, excitability, nausea, gas, behavior changes, skin reactions, rashes and pernicious anemia. A safe daily dosage of folic acid for most people is 400 micrograms per day.
