Magnesium deficiency - what does this mean
Magnesium deficiency occurs when the body does not get enough magnesium from the food it consumes. this can be caused by a poor diet, certain medications, and certain medical conditions. it can also be caused by excessive alcohol consumption, which can lead to decreased absorption of magnesium from the intestines.
What happens during the disease - magnesium deficiency
Magnesium deficiency is caused by inadequate intake of magnesium-rich foods, inadequate absorption of dietary magnesium, or increased urinary excretion of magnesium. it can also be caused by certain medical conditions, such as kidney disease, gastrointestinal disorders, and diabetes. these conditions can lead to decreased absorption of magnesium from food, increased excretion of magnesium in the urine, and increased breakdown of magnesium in the body. as a result, the body is unable to maintain adequate levels of magnesium, leading to symptoms such as muscle weakness, fatigue, and irritability.
