factors. • Alcohol • Aspartame (NutraSweet® and Equal®) • Caffeine • Food Additives (nitrates, MSG (monosodium glutamate), tyramine, (found in aged cheeses, soy products, sausages, smoked fish, and Chianti wine) • Hormonal changes • Skipping meals • Sleep imbalance (too much or too little) • Strong sensory stimulation (bright lights, loud noises, strong odors) • Stress and anxiety • Weather changes Magnesium for Nerve problems Magnesium alleviates peripheral nerve disturbances throughout the body, such as headaches, muscle contractions, gastrointestinal spasms, and calf, foot, and toe cramps. It is also used in treating central nervous system symptoms of vertigo and confusion. Diabetic neuropathy is a very painful aspect of diabetes. Research shows that magnesium can relieve some of the symptoms of this condition. Magnesium for Obstetrics and Gynecology Magnesium helps prevent premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea (cramping pain during menses), is important in the treatment of infertility, and alleviates premature contractions, preeclampsia, and eclampsia in pregnancy. Intravenous magnesium is given in obstetrical wards for pregnancy-‐induced hypertension and to lessen the risk of cerebral palsy and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Magnesium should be a required supplement for pregnant women.
