Coffe and magnesium deficiency.?
I’ve recently received results of my hair mineral analysis and it says I have decreased functionality of thyroid and adrenal glands due to very low level of Magnesium and Manganese in my body.
In the report it states, that this lack is because of stress influences and general bad diet. But I don’t have any stress in life, am eating well, don’t smoke and drink, no fast/frozen food etc.
I was a heavy coffee drinker though, for some time. I drank 1-2 ‘cups’ (half pint mugs) per day, about half a year ago. Now I drink about 1-2 mugs a week. I heard one day, coffee is one of the main ‘flusher’ of magnesium and calcium on body.
I try to balance my diet by eating loads of nuts, vegetables etc. but still it seems it’s not enough. Do I have to stop drinking coffee at all to get well? I have difficulties with sleeping (diagnosed type2 insomnia) and my bones are cracking. Calcium is also on a low level in my body. I drink milk, eat cheese, yogurts but it doesn’t help. Is it because of the coffee?
