Insulin resistancce
A massive health concern for more than half of the US population has some type of insulin resistancce, such as metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes. According to a 15-year research study recently published in the medical journal, approximately 5,000 people who took adequate levels of magnesium had a reduced risk of developing metabolic syndrome. A similar review published in the American Journal of Epidemiology suggests that a higher magnesium intake enhanced insulin sensitivity in obese and prediabetic individuals. Other studies also indicate the role of magnesium in improving triglycerides – that can also help lower the risk of insulin resistance.
