10. Reduces Inflammation
Magnesium is a natural anti-inflammatory that can help against chronic inflammation. The minerals’ anti-inflammatory properties may also help reduce the occurrence and intensity of flare-ups in certain conditions such as arthritis, Crohn’s disease, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and numerous autoimmune diseases. Getting enough magnesium through your diet can also help reduce markers of inflammation.
11. Increases Vitamin and Mineral Absorption
Without adequate levels of magnesium, the body’s ability to regulate calcium levels would be compromised. In addition, you would not be able to absorb vitamin D, sodium, potassium, or phosphorus properly. Deficiencies in any of these vitamins and minerals can lead to various medical conditions.
