Food sources of magnesium are generally a source of fiber. Fiber is useful to prevent constipation because it can absorb water in large enough quantities in the digestive tract, so that the feces become soft and the pressure in the colon is reduced.
Magnesium is a macro mineral that the body needs to normalize blood pressure and affect the performance of the hormone insulin, so the disease can be controlled hypertension and diabetes. It turned out that magnesium also expedite the process of defecation.
In nature, magnesium is often encountered as part of the leaf chlorophyll, which is at the core of the chlorophyll. The role of magnesium in the chlorophyll of plants similar to the role of iron in the hemoglobin of human blood. Magnesium is also involved in several metabolic processes. In humans, about 60 percent of 20-28 mg of magnesium contained in bones and teeth, 26 percent in the muscle, and the remainder in soft tissues and body fluids.
Magnesium increases water in your intestines which help initiate peristalsis (the wavelike motion which moves fecal matter through your intestines). Peristalsis also pushes food into your stomach.
The laxative effect of magnesium appears to come through two different mechanisms: Magnesium relaxes the muscles in the intestines---this helps to establish a smoother rhythm that helps eliminate constipation.
Magnesium also attracts water---this increased amount of water in the colon serves to soften the stool, helping to make stools easier to pass and thus removing constipation.
Since your intestines will be absorbing this excess water from your body it is very important to drink plenty of water after taking Magnesium. This will keep you from becoming dehydrated.
