Hey Peatarians! I've got a confession to make: I disagree big time with Ray Peat's opinion on magnesium.
I must admit, however, that Ray has been somewhat influential to me with his calcium to phosphorus ratio. However, I think that magnesium and calcium should also be ROUGHLY in a 1:1 balance as well.
Why?
One reason is because I think there's evidence that traditional cultures had a 1:1 calcium : magnesium balance in their diets as well. Another reason is that lots of people seem to do better on higher magnesium intakes.
From reading Peat, I notice that he does not recommend a 1:1 ratio between magnesium and calcium intake. That's where my blog post comes in:
I tell you why I consider almost everyone magnesium deficient! If you're not taking the right magnesium supplements, you're probably deficient too...
I'm not fear mongering though. My message is optimistic: you can improve your health for pennies a day!
Learn:
- how it's almost impossible to get sufficient magnesium through food alone
- why our modern lifestyle predisposes you for magnesium deficiency
- the many simple magnesium deficiency signs in existence
- why 60% of people have a severe magnesium deficiency, and 80-90% of people have sub-optimal magnesium levels
- the massive health benefits magnesium can bring
- that not all magnesium supplements are great, and which supplements you should take for the best absorption
- about the best magnesium lab tests
- why magnesium helps you prevent diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, osteoporosis, and other diseases
- that the correct magnesium supplements don't need to be expensive
And much, much more.
And please let me know what you think as Peat advocates!
