Magnesium and Sport

Muscle cramps, migraines, tiredness, nervousness – Magnesium is indispensable for our bodies. Athletes in particular benefit from an adequate supply of this often-misunderstood mineral. The author underlines this by describing Kenyan and Ethiopian runners, who are considered to be the best in the world. Unlike in our latitudes, they harvest their food from magnesium-rich soils. In the worst case, a deficiency of magnesium can even lead to sudden death from cardiac arrest, and a number of examples of this are given in the book. Ana Maria Lajusticia Bergasa lists the most magnesium-rich foods and gives valuable tips on the uses of magnesium. She also outlines its health benefits as well as the symptoms and dangers of magnesium deficiency. If you like doing a lot of sport, you should read this book!
