Magnesium is needed by the enzymes that counteract inflammation in the body. These enzymes decrease as we age, which is why healing takes longer and may cause inflammatory conditions to become chronic. Cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and heart disease are all associated with chronic inflammation.
Researchers have found that as magnesium levels decrease, there is an increase in inflammatory cytokines and histamine.
