This book needs to be read by anyone wishing to improve their quality of life and health. I frequently recommend this book to my clients. Clearly written and packed with information, it is a comprehensive and well-referenced guide to the myriad benefits of magnesium. Magnesium is an essential nutrient, indispensable to your health and well-being and we are getting far less of it because the soil our food is grown in has become nearly depleted with magnesium and many grains and processed foods are treated with chemicals that actually pull magnesium out of our bodies. By adding this mineral to your diet you are guarding against—and helping to alleviate—such threats as anxiety, heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, diabetes, depression, arthritis, and asthma.
