Higher Magnesium Intake May Reduce Dementia Risk by 37%

Higher Magnesium Intake Linked to Lower Dementia Risk: New Study A recent study has revealed a significant correlation between increased magnesium consumption and a reduced risk of developing dementia. The research, presented in a short video by Dr. Angela, a Doctor of Pharmacy specializing in natural medicine, highlights the potential benefits of magnesium supplementation, particularly for women. The study, involving a large group of middle-aged adults, divided participants into two groups. One group consumed 350mg of magnesium daily, while the other consumed 550mg. The results showed that those in the higher-magnesium group had a 37% lower risk of dementia compared to the lower-magnesium group. This significant reduction suggests a strong link between magnesium intake and brain health. "Research indicates that increasing magnesium intake by 41% could significantly enhance brain health, preserve cognitive function, and reduce dementia risk," Dr. Angela explains in her video. She emphasizes the particular benefits for women. While further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms involved, this study provides encouraging evidence for the role of magnesium in maintaining cognitive health. The findings underscore the importance of a balanced diet and potential supplementation to reduce the risk of dementia.
