4. Magnesium can help prevent Type 2 Diabetes.
Diabetes is a crushing disease. Luckily, supplementing with Magnesium can help prevent it. It is thought that 48% of diabetics have lower than normal levels of Magnesium. This can hurt insulin’s ability to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
There was one study over a long period of time involving many people that showed those who took in the most Magnesium were almost 50% less likely to get Type 2 diabetes.
In another study, diabetics who took a lot of Magnesium every day had improvements in their blood sugar. However, there was one other study which showed that Magnesium didn’t improve things in people who weren’t deficient.
