I had no idea that calcium wasn’t made in the body. I did know that it was great for the bones. I did learn that zinc was great for helping to heal wounds.
No problem for me getting enough calcium…I consume a lot of milk, yogurt, and cheese. I do need to monitor my other vitamin intake however, such as zinc and magnesium. It’s always good to watch these videos for tips on how to do so.
I also love milk and cheese. I wouldn’t survive if I were to become lactose intolerant. Lol. I also agree that these videos provide great ideas for sources.
I always knew our bones and teeth needed calicum. I didn’t realize our body produces it. A 1000 mg. a day. Also I didn’t know how much zinc could heal wounds. To realize magnesium could relax the body. I could sure use some. LOL.
Im slowly working on my vitamin shopping list. Zinc, magnesium, vitamin d, vitamin a. I know this wont fix the problem but it can sure help on my way to making myself healthier.
I,too, am working on my vitamin shopping list. I knew about calcium and zinc, but didn’t know magnesium’s importance. I think taking a multivitamin is a great start for replenishing what our body needs.
I always thought that Calcium was made in our bones! I guess that is why so many people are deficient in it. Who knew that Magnesium was such an important mineral to be absorbed daily? I have never heard of being deficient in Magnesium but it makes sense that half of the American population is because of all of the health issues we have in our society. I am going to buy some magnesium supplements for my diet, maybe some of my aches and pains will go away.
Well i had no clue calcium wasn’t made in the body. I guess that’s why mom always said drink my milk! Magnesium is actually more important that I thought! I think headaches are because I don’t have as much as I should so I need to focus on that! It seems like it’s harder to consume than to keep in the body? Another fact I learned was that we need 8mg of zinc per day. With zinc being found in beef, pork, and dark chicken- I work at a BBQ restaurant so I get some of that everyday!!
I did not know that magnesuim relaxes you, though I didnt know anything about it really to begin with. I also didnt know calcuim wasnt made in the body
I’m always looking for new ways to relax (that are actually good for me), and maybe magnesium is just the ticket. I had no idea of all of the benefits that magnesium provided in the body. I guess I need to work on my vitamin shopping list.
I know how important calcium is for the body, but didn’t know it wasn’t made in the body.If Magnesium will really relax me, I am about to make sure I have enough in my body. I am also going to tell my family about this.
I could definitely use some more relaxation too, so I will surely be checking into magnesium for this effect. My wife suffers from joint inflammation and fibromyalgia, so I too will be telling my family about these videos.
So, as I was watching these video’s, I decided to take a look at the label on the multivitamin that I take every night. It only has 500 mg (50% of the daily total value)of calcium, 15 mg oz zinc (100% of the daily total value), and 50 mg of magnesium(13% of the daily total value). So, I guess I will need an additional supplement of calcium and magnesium. I find it crazy how a multivitamin is suppose to have all nutrients, but it doesn’t even have all the correct amounts that the body needs. Some people hate to take pills and I am a firm believer that 1 multivitamin a day is better than not taking anything at all.
Calicum is not made in the body which i did not know until now. Bones need to have calcium, people need to keep up their calcium because you made need it when you get older. Zinc can be vital mineral, which helps enzymes because it will help heal wounds. Body makes most of the zinc. I eat alot of meat so i do get alot of zinc so i don’t get sick very often.
I often forget that magnesium can help contribute on how your body feels. There so many other vitamin and minerals discussed that it gets overlooked. Magnesium supplements are commononly used from older adults is what I’ve been told.
He certainly made a strong case to add a magnesium supplement to my diet. Although I do eat some of the foods that he listed as having magnesium, the truth is that most of them never see my plate. I liked the way that he linked the use of magnesium in medicine to treating extreme cases. I will definitely look into a supplement. My biggest fear is that I will buy something thinking it has benefits, only to find out that it is not adequately absorbed by the body. I guess that is why I don’t take supplements, because I have seen so many reports disputing how much of the vitamin or mineral we actually can absorb and utilize. I will definitely do some more research.
I didnt realize that magnesium is that important. i am diffently going to try to add some to my diet now. I feel like magnesium gets over looked because there are so many supplements that people are trying to remember to take that it gets left out.
The video on magnesium was a real eye opener for me. I did not realize how important that mineral is to our everyday health. Before taking this nutrition class and watching that video I had no clue what magnesium did for our bodies. I am very happy to know this because I deal with a lot of the symptoms that he mentioned may be from the lack of magnesium. I am going to check into a good supplement to take. I eat some of the foods he mentioned but not very often and I am a coffee drinker so I know now I am loosing what magnesium I do have.
WOW! I didn’t know magnesium was connected to so many things. I had at least 3 of the symptoms he named. I’m glad he gave a reccommended dosage as well. I’m a daily coffee drinker but didn’t realize it was depleating me of magnesium. I also need to beef up on my calcium and zinc intake. These videos have been really informative and make me think about my eating habits and health like I never have before.
I am a huge coffee drinker also, I drink it at least once today. Although I already was aware that coffee was not “beneficial” to my health, I now see that it has more affects on the body besides just the caffefine affect.
Yum yum! These are foods I love the most. I think I am very good with Zinc. I drink my son lelf-over milk everyday, I think I am good with calcium too.
I have always known we need calcium for our bones and teeth. I can not have dairy products, so I am very happy to know that brocolli has lots of calcium. I could eat brocolli everyday. I had no idea about magnesium and how defiecencies of that could affect our bodies. I will be adding magnesium to my diet! I knew zinc helped with wounds.
I was also unaware that broccoli had such high levels of calcium. I just figured that calcium came from dairy products such as milk, yogurt, and cheese. It’s good to know that you can still obtain the recommended amount of calcium from things other than dairy.
Wow I didn’t realize how important magnesium and zinc are in our every day lives! I understood how important calcium is, of course, because that’s the one everybody talks about! My mom made me take a “calcium, magnesium, zinc” pill when I was a kid, but since I moved out, I have been lazy in taking all my vitamins. These videos really motivate me to take more vitamins though, and I am grateful! It’s exciting to know i’m taking steps towards getting healthier and healthier!
I always thought you a need magnesium for when you get old didnt know its imoprtant now in life and Ive always known about how important calcium is. I have to take calcium pills and drink plently of milk because my birthcontrol (depo) makes bones brittle or something like that.
LOVE SOME CALCIUM!! This essential supplement is beneficial to your bones, teeth, blood vessel contractions, and muscle use. We have to consume this in order for our body to use it properly. It is stored within the bone and transported out when needed.
These nutrients are all very important, although I had no clue that calcium was made in the body. I also did not know that magnesium was found in all your tissues and how important it was to consume this nutrient.
After watching these videos, it really put into perspective the importances of these vitamins and minerals on the human body. I know with my every day busy life I do not get the proper amounts of calcium, magnesium, nor zinc in my daily diet. The videos are sort of a “motivation” to want to benefit my health, and I will definitely be taking more of these things into consideration during my meals.
Amazing how much of a contribution calcium makes in the human body. Not only to do with your bones but extends into your muscular skeletal as well as your blood vessels. It is also very interesting how magnesium is so important to the functions of your bodies and is importarnt to every cell in your body.
I always knew it was easier to not be a vegan. Calcium and Zinc are more readily available and more easily absorbed by omnivores. One thing I learned that I didn’t know before was that dark meat chicken is a good source of zinc.
I did not know the many benefits of magnesium. Its role in relaxation makes me think I should be getting more of it. I did not realize how vital zinc was either. This was also a good refresher on the benefits of calcium.
I had no idea that magnesium was a relaxation mineral. I am a licensed massage therapist, and with this newly information, i am going to tell my clients to ingest large amounts of magnesium before coming in! Totally joking! But great little tidbit about magnesium. Very excited to hear the benefits of meat pertaining to zinc. Wheres the beef!!!
calcium isnt made in the body no wonder we need to eat and drink a lot of it to keep our bones and teeth healthy and slow down the process from forming osteoporosis.
didnt know all the ways magnesium could be used to treat things and there are a lot of symtoms that you could have a magnesium deficiency. very inf.ormative
I have known for some time that outside sources of calcium were needed. Unfortunately I know I do not get enough and the supplements available tend to be harsh on my system. I need to put into practice getting more naturally. I was also aware of the healing qualities of zinc but I had forgotten how much magnesium can help you. I believe that a lot of the depression and emotional issues in our society would be helped significantly with more magnesium in the diet.
I knew where calcium was in the body, but had no idea that my body did not produce calcium. I am glad that I drink plenty of milk in order to get that calcium for my pearly whites. I also did not know that magnesium is so beneficial to the body. I enjoyed this video a lot and learned a lot too.
If you don’t have enough of Magnesium you could possibly die. Many people have a magnesium deficiency. They use a lot of magnesium in the hospital, because it helps with almost everything.
Magnesium seems to just be a great benefit to our bodies. It is scary to think you can die from not having enough Magnesium. I think I am going to increase my intake of Magnesium to relax a little more.
I had no idea how beneficial magnesium was to the body. It is used as a relaxation mineral. I could use some more magnesium to relax. Zinc is also vital to our body. We can get zinc from our meats.
I eat plenty of meats, so I think I am good to go with getting enough zinc. One thing I found very interesting was that not enough magnesium can cause headaches. I have headaches often, so I am going to start taking a magnesium supplement.
Amazing how important calcium, magnesium, and zinc are to the human body. I was especially suprised at how important, as well as, diseases and ailments can be thwarted off by magnesium. These videos made me want to run out and get a good vitamin rich in all these minerals.
I did not know that zinc added in the healing process. Got to make sure that I stay up in that vitamin from now on. I will also be getting more magnesium because I need all the stress relief I can get these days.
Calcium and Zinc and the problems with them I have heard for years. It was the video on Magnesium that was an eye-opener. My wife suffers from seizures and he mentioned that Magnesium possibly helps with seizure sufferers.
Of course we all know that calcium was in milk and all that wonderful stuff. But the fact that all of those awesome minerals are in broccoli, beef, and oytsers…..heck yes! I am going to grill up a piece of steak right after this post now !!!!

That’s exactly what I have planned. I have multiple headaches daily so I think added magnesium will only help.

I didn’t know that either. Very interesting! I did know about calcium (my Mom always told me to drink more milk!).

I find it very confusing as to which vitamins to take and how much. But you have a point. One is better than none.
Calicum is not made in the body which i did not know until now. Bones need to have calcium, people need to keep up their calcium because you made need it when you get older. Zinc can be vital mineral, which helps enzymes because it will help heal wounds. Body makes most of the zinc. I eat alot of meat so i do get alot of zinc so i don’t get sick very often.

I am definately gonna add a magnesium supplement to my diet!! I suffer from a lot of the things he stated. I did not realize its importance.
I’m with you on that. I will definately be adding magnesium to my diet!

I have never given vitamins much thought. Just took for granted that I get enough in the food that I eat daily. It’s interesting all the benefits.
I agree! I never really hear people talk about how much we need magnesium. Crazy how beneficial it is.
I didnt realize that magnesium is that important. i am diffently going to try to add some to my diet now. I feel like magnesium gets over looked because there are so many supplements that people are trying to remember to take that it gets left out.

That magnesium sounds like good stuff. One of my parents has just started supplementing with it.
Had no idea that magnesium was so important and also like the others I assumed that calcium was in our bones. This was definately news to me.
I have never thought about magnesium. Interesting and eye opening.
Wow I didn’t realize how important magnesium and zinc are in our every day lives! I understood how important calcium is, of course, because that’s the one everybody talks about!

This was some great information on important minerals such as magnesium and zinc. This makes me really want to take notice of getting more.

65% of those admitted to ICU have a magnesium deficiency. That’s a pretty staggering statistic.

I never realized how important Zinc and Magnesium are. It’s good to know that magnesium is a stress reliever, and that zinc is used to heal burns.
