32 SIGNS YOU IMMEDIATELY NEED MORE MAGNESIUM, AND HOW TO GET IT Sometimes, we often ignore the symptoms we experience, but it is a fact that the deficiency of a single nutrient can lead to numerous health complications. The American diet is greatly changed these days, which has led to numerous health issues, and deficiencies in various nutrients. One of the most common deficiencies is the one of magnesium. Magnesium is not easy to obtain from food sources, but it is extremely important for the human body. This essential mineral is responsible for over 300 processes and chemical reactions in the body.
