How to Use This Ingredient Effectively for Seniors: What You Need to Know
As we age, maintaining good health becomes more than just a goal—it becomes a daily necessity. One mineral that often flies under the radar but plays a crucial role in senior health is magnesium. From supporting bone health to improving sleep and heart function, magnesium is an unsung hero, especially for people over 60. But how can seniors use it effectively? Let’s break it down.
Why Magnesium Matters for Older Adults
Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body. For seniors, it helps:
- Maintain strong bones (along with calcium and vitamin D)
- Regulate heart rhythm and blood pressure
- Relax muscles and nerves
- Improve sleep and mood
- Support blood sugar control
Unfortunately, many seniors are deficient in magnesium due to reduced absorption with age, certain medications (like diuretics or PPIs), and dietary changes.
