The mortality of cardiovascular disease among residents in soft-water areas is higher than that of residents in hard-water areas. According to the water quality test results, the most significant difference between the two is magnesium except for calcium. The content of magnesium in soft water is only one percent of hard water. Clinically, it has also been found that severe magnesium deficiency in the body can cause vascular sclerosis and myocardial damage (people who die of myocardial infarction have less than 40% of magnesium in the myocardium).
The adult body contains 20-28 grams of magnesium, of which about 60% is concentrated in the bones, the rest is dispersed in muscle and soft tissue, and saliva, bile, pancreatic juice, and intestinal fluid contain magnesium. Magnesium in cells is an important catalyst for hundreds of physiological reactions after a meal. It is necessary for releasing energy, absorbing and transporting nutrients, and also affects the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acids and proteins. If the concentration of magnesium in the body is too low, protein synthesis will be mistaken and interrupted, and energy metabolism, material metabolism and life activities will all suffer disasters. Magnesium and calcium are necessary for bone formation. In nerve conduction, calcium plays an inhibitory role, magnesium plays a relaxing role, and potassium and sodium together maintain the balance of excitement and inhibition. A serious lack of magnesium, prone to excitement, arrhythmia, neuromuscular excitability is extremely enhanced, severe tremors, sputum.
The daily supply of magnesium to adults is, for example, 4148 kJ on a calorie basis, which is 120 mg. The man is about 350 Hg and the pregnant woman and nursing mother is about 450 mg. Magnesium is distributed in foods. In addition to hard water, coarse grains, dried beans, nuts, and green leafy vegetables contain more magnesium, animal foods contain less magnesium, and refined foods and oils and fats have the lowest levels.
