In addition to the function of organs in the body, magnesium plays an important role in maintaining the health of human muscles. If you lack magnesium, it will disrupt the balance that affects muscle cramps and spasms. This problem can also affect the function of the stomach and legs, as well as causing discomfort when moved.

Magnesium has a role in helping to regulate impulses that function in controlling the heart so that it can maintain its rhythm and blood pressure level. Magnesium deficiency increases the risk of cardiovascular problems. Another risk is experiencing arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat. Hypertension will also become a major problem due to magnesium deficiency.

Not only physical illnesses, but magnesium deficiency will also make you more at risk of having mental problems. This is because the nervous system relies on magnesium to regulate neurotransmitters and support overall nervous system stability, which will make you susceptible to neurological symptoms such as depression and anxiety disorders.

Due to the importance of mineral content such as magnesium for the body, magnesium plays a crucial role in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or the body's main energy source. If there is a lack of magnesium, ATP production will decrease, resulting in a lack of energy or easily getting tired.

Although the body is already tired, magnesium deficiency does not make you able to sleep faster. Magnesium has a role in hormone regulation, so magnesium deficiency will trigger hormonal imbalance, leading to excessive anxiety. Disrupted melatonin production can also make it difficult for you to sleep. Report by Monica Alycia Mutiara/ Source: Times of India
