Summary of Minerales: Magnesio

00:00:00 - 00:20:00

The YouTube video "Minerales: Magnesio" discusses the importance of magnesium in the body and how it is involved in various physiological processes. The video also covers magnesium deficiency and how it can lead to various health problems.

• 00:00:00 In this video, we'll be discussing the important chemical element magnesium. This element is considered a macro mineral, or a "vive" element, and is found in human bodies at a concentration of around 760 mg. In adults, the concentration of magnesium reaches 25 g, which is equivalent to 0.1% of the individual's weight. Magnesium is mainly located in our bones (65%), muscles (27%), and other tissues (6-7%). Less than 1% of magnesium is found in the extracellular space. When ingested, 90% of magnesium is absorbed through the small intestine primarily through the liver and intestine of Lily. Other factors that can interfere with magnesium absorption include diets high in protein or saturated fats, while a diet rich in soluble fiber can also facilitate absorption. Finally, we must also consider diets high in sugar or those containing high levels of sodium and potassium. When consuming foods high in magnesium, the body can excrete up to 75% of the ingested magnesium through the urine. The other two major excretory routes are the gastrointestinal (30%) and sweat (10%).
• 00:05:00 Magnesio is an important mineral for human health, with significant roles in both the medical and legal arenas. There are a variety of hormones that directly or indirectly affect urinary aggression from this chemical, for example the hormone progesterone with its initial letters pth produced by the paratiroid glands. These hormones, plus calcitonin, increase absorption at the renal tubules level. On the other hand, the hormone of growth (gh), hormone anti-diuretic (hda), both produced by the hypothalamus gland, and estrogen and estrogen-related hormones (estrogens, progestins) will decrease renal absorption. That is to say, they increase excretion through urine. Before describing the important functions that magnesium plays in this chemical element, we must mention that this mineral is important for biological evolution. For example, magnesium is an important part of the structure of the chloroplasts, a molecule that developed about 3 million years ago and developed about 1 million years ago. Chloroplasts use chlorophyll, a molecule that magnesium is involved in, to produce oxygen. Magnesium also participates in numerous metabolic processes, some of which will be described later. In addition, magnesium is essential for the synthesis of proteins and enzymes
• 00:10:00 Magnesium is an important mineral for many physiological functions, including nerve and muscle function, heart rhythm, and cell membrane function. Deficiency can lead to several health problems. Zinc is an important mineral for the body, but it is not as well-known as magnesium. Deficiency of zinc can lead to a decrease in magnesium absorption, which can affect magnesium balance in the body. Some research has found that the consumption of high-protein diets can lead to a decrease in magnesium absorption. Fiber is another important mineral for the body. Some research has found that the consumption of high-fiber diets can help to increase magnesium absorption. However, it is important to note that the consumption of high-fiber diets does not always lead to a decrease in zinc absorption. Deficiency of magnesium can lead to a decrease in calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood, which can affect overall health. Magnesium is also important for nerve and muscle function, heart rhythm, and cell membrane function. Zinc is important for many physiological functions, but it is not as well-known as magnesium. Deficiency of zinc can lead to a decrease in magnesium absorption, which can affect magnesium balance in the body. Some research has found that the
• 00:15:00 This video covers the importance of magnesium in the body, including its role in the gastrointestinal tract and other transformed areas that affect magnesium absorption. The syndrome of poor magnesium absorption is also mentioned, along with celiac disease, a genetic disorder characterized by inflammation of the intestinal mucosa due to gluten ingestion. Poor magnesium intake can lead to gastrointestinal problems, and alcohol abuse can increase the loss of magnesium in the urine. Lower magnesium intakes can also lead to magnesium deficiency, characterized by a variety of symptoms, including muscle cramps and neurological problems, such as tremors and spasms. It is important to note that magnesium deficiency is not common, but can be induced in experimental animals by low magnesium intake. When magnesium deficiency occurs in humans, the first signs are a decrease in magnesium levels in the plasma known as hypomagnesemia, followed by a decrease in levels of calcium in the plasma called hypocalcemia. Magnesium deficiency may also lead to magnesium retention, low levels of circulating hormone paratiroidea symptoms such as muscle cramps and spasms, and a decrease in appetite. The sources of magnesium discussed in the video include foods rich in magnesium, including cocoa and its derivatives, dried fruits, nuts, whole grains, and vegetables. Low-magnesium foods
• 00:20:00 In this video, the presenter discusses the importance of magnesium in mineral-rich foods, such as milk. While milk is a poor source of magnesium, it is important to consider that maternal milk concentration can be quite variable. Other factors that don't have a significant impact on maternal magnesium concentration include environmental factors, such as mother's sociocultural background, smoking habits, and medication use. Additionally, water intake can be directly responsible for magnesium absorption. The presenter also mentions that magnesium in water is absorbed fastest. This means that it is important to consume magnesium in the morning and continue with the next videos on other chemical elements.
