[Magnesium deficiency--benefits of "life salt nuti ma-su"].
One of essential minerals magnesium tastes bitter, so human love to remove magnesium from salt. But magnesium is also essential for cell functions in the body. Salts are getting purifying only NaCl from sea water. It means other minerals are gone out. So other essential minerals easily are getting to deficiency in the body. Recently the technique of purification of salt from sea water has developed. But the contents of magnesium other than [NaCl] is getting decrease. So deficiency symptom is easily occurred. The important role of magnesium is control of higher function of nervous system, behavior, memory and learning in the human. So we have to intake a lot of magnesium from many kinds of salts including sea water.
