Magnesium deficiency, also called hypomagnesemia, can be tricky to identify because symptoms often show up only when levels drop quite low. This essential mineral plays a vital role in keeping your muscles, nerves, and heart functioning smoothly. Deficiency usually happens due to inadequate magnesium intake or excessive loss through kidneys or intestines. If you notice any of these symptoms, it could be time to check your magnesium levels. Adjust your diet by including magnesium-rich foods such as leafy greens, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and legumes. However, if symptoms persist despite dietary changes or become severe like intense muscle cramps, irregular heartbeat, or persistent numbness, consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
