Most people do not think about magnesium when they think about how to prevent chronic disease, but it plays an essential role. For instance, there have been several significant studies about magnesium\'s role in keeping your metabolism running efficiently—specifically in terms of insulin sensitivity, glucose regulation, and protection from type 2 diabetes.

Higher magnesium intake reduces the risk of impaired glucose and insulin metabolism and slows progression from pre-diabetes to diabetes in middle-aged Americans. Researchers stated, \"Magnesium intake may be particularly beneficial in offsetting your risk of developing diabetes if you are high risk.\"

Multiple studies have also shown that higher magnesium intake is associated with a higher bone mineral density in both men and women, and research from Norway has even found an association between magnesium in drinking water and a lower risk of hip fractures.

In August 2017, Dr. Carolyn Dean will release her own body of research  - the 2nd Edition of The Magnesium Miracle -  in which she outlines the 65 conditions which can be related to magnesium deficiency.  It has already been recognized by reviewers as an essential book for clinicians as well as any individual who wants to improve their health.
