Abstract
El objetivo de la presente revisión es brindar información suficiente al consumidor sobre la importancia de la ingesta o el consumo de magnesio en la dieta humana, a fin de que se pueda llevar a cabo una adecuada ingesta y uso de este mineral. El magnesio (Mg), es muy importante en el funcionamiento metabólico de nuestro cuerpo, ya que es el segundo catión intracelular más abundante y una de sus funciones principales es ser un cofactor crítico en cualquier reacción que involucre ATP. La hipomagnesemia se debe a una insuficiencia de magnesio en la dieta y crónico consumo de alcohol. El déficit de magnesio aumenta el riesgo de sufrir algunas enfermedades, como la diabetes tipo 2, la hipertensión y la arteriosclerosis. Por otra parte, la hipermagnesemia se debe a un aporte masivo de magnesio al líquido extracelular (sobrepasa la gran capacidad fisiológica de excretar este catión) o a una alteración marcada de la función renal produciendo anomalías como nauseas, diarreas, calambres abdominales, enfermedades de Addison, nefritis crómica y la muerte. Así mismo el consumo adecuado de magnesio previene muchas enfermedades como en el sistema nervioso central, migrañas, enfermedades cardio vasculares, envejecimiento y diabetes tipo 2.
ABSTRACT The objective of this review is to provide sufficient information to consumers about the magnesium intake importance in human diet, affine they can take adequate intake and use of this mineral. Magnesium (Mg), is very important in metabolic functioning of our body since it is the second intracellular cation most abundant and one of its main functions It is to be a critical cofactor in any reaction involving ATP. Hypomagnesemia is due to a lack of magnesium in the diet and chronic alcohol consumption. Magnesium deficiency increases the risk of some diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and arteriosclerosis. Moreover, Hypermagnesemia is due to a massive input of magnesium into the extracellular fluid (exceeding the physiological ability to excrete large this cation) or a marked impairment of renal function abnormalities occurring as nausea, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, Addison's disease, chromic nephritis and death. Also adequate intake of magnesium prevents many diseases as the central nervous system, migraines, cardiovascular disease, aging and type 2 diabete.
