Magnesium deficiency and nutrition

Magnesium deficiency can also be caused by not eating enough magnesium-containing foods, but there are also foods you eat that you shouldn’t. It would be very easy to get plenty of magnesium, but we eat number of food that make the magnesium content of the foods we eat inaccessible to our bodies.

The main culprits are soft drinks, caffeinated beverages (including coffee) and alcohol. Consumers of soft drinks have a significantly lower supply of magnesium and alcohol consumption has the same effect on the body. In addition, alcohol inhibits the absorption of vitamin d, which also counteracts the incorporation of magnesium. As a result of sugar, our body excretes more magnesium through the kidneys, so even foods with a significant magnesium content end up with a net magnesium deficiency. If one of the above is regularly included in your diet, your magnesium levels may not be adequate.
