Low Magnesium Linked to DNA Damage and Chronic Disease Risk
Magnesium plays a vital role in maintaining our overall health, potentially safeguarding against age-related chronic disease—yet many don’t get enough.
While you often hear about the importance of vitamin D and zinc for boosting immunity, another important but often overlooked nutrient is magnesium.
This essential mineral plays a vital role in maintaining our overall health. Recent research has uncovered another crucial function of magnesium: its role in protecting our DNA from damage, potentially safeguarding against age-related chronic diseases.
Role of Magnesium in Protecting DNA
Up to 15 percent of people in the United States don’t get enough magnesium, which may have negative health consequences.
A study published in the European Journal of Nutrition in June adds to the growing body of evidence highlighting the importance of magnesium for overall health. By linking low magnesium levels to increased DNA damage, researchers at the University of South Australia suggest that magnesium may be particularly central in protecting against age-related chronic diseases.
