 Necessity for Magnesium in muscle function

According to the Office of Dietary Supplements, “Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health” It is found in nature in green vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds. Also, whole, unrefined grains are a good source. Water is also a good source, if it’s “hard” water. “Soft” water does not contain as many minerals.  Hoodia may be of help. “Magnesium is necessary for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body, such as normal muscle and nerve function, steady heart rhythm, a healthy immune system, and strong bones.”

Magnesium deficiency may occur in people who are taking “antibiotics, diuretics, and certain medications for cancer” . Diabetics, especially those who don’t control their condition carefully, because of increased magnesium loss in urine associated with hyperglycemia. “Low blood levels of magnesium occur in 30% to 60% of alcoholics, and in 90% of patients experiencing alcohol withdrawal.” Older adults (who are likely to be taking drugs) should be especially aware of their need for magnesium.  Hoodia Gordonii supplements often have magnesium.

The Safest Way to Incorporate Supplements into Your Life

With weight loss on the minds of so many people, it’s becoming increasingly obvious that certain people simply have more trouble losing weight than others. Even if they stick to their nutritional diet and maintain an active lifestyle, certain individuals might still have issues either losing the pounds or keeping the pounds off. For these people, it’s easy to get discouraged, which is why it’s a good idea to incorporate supplements into their daily routine when more traditional methods seem to be failing them.

As such, some people have turned to Hoodia weight loss pills. But it can be confusing knowing how often and how much to take these pills. With so many stories about the potential dangers of weight loss pills, these kinds of technical issues can be troublesome. As such, it’s best to consult with your doctor if you have any questions. As a general rule, though, people generally take around two pills every day along with 400 mg of water. But this dosage will depend on your specific body and needs, so get all the information before you begin your diet supplement routine.

Eat Often to Rev Up Your Metabolism

JORGE’S DAILY FIT TIP,  By Jorge Cruise, Chief Diet and Fitness Expert

When it comes to losing weight, how many pounds you lose isn’t as important as what those pounds are made of. For example, if you lose 10 pounds, but half the weight is muscle, your metabolism is going to suffer. That’s because, pound for pound, muscle burns more calories than fat. Surprisingly, the frequency at which you eat when dieting affects the type of weight you lose. In a British Journal of Nutrition study, weight-loss participants who ate frequent meals preserved considerably more lean muscle tissue than those who ate fewer daily meals but consumed the same number of calories. A separate Scandinavian study found similar results when testing two different weight-loss diets on a group of athletes. Although all of them lost equal amounts of weight, those who ate fewer meals lost mostly lean muscle tissue. The participants who ate more frequent meals lost almost all fat tissue, preserving their precious calorie-burning muscle. The lesson here is: To keep your metabolism revved and blast pounds, eat regularly.

Hoodia is causing quite a stir

Hoodia is causing quite a stir for its ability to suppress appetite, thereby promoting weight loss. The CBS television news program, 60 Minutes, and the British network, BBC have already featured stories about Hoodia.

Hoodia Gordonii can only be found in the semi-arid deserts of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola. Hoodia grows in clumps of green upright stalks.

It takes about five years, or more, before Hoodia’s pale purple flowers appear. After that time the plant can be eaten. Although there are at least 40 known varieties of Hoodia, only the Gordonii species is believed to contain the natural appetite suppressant.
