00:00Boosting magnesium levels. Could slow brain aging and lower dementia risk?

00:05Research shows. Dementia cases may hit 152.8 million

00:10by 2050. Studies link both low and high magnesium levels to increase dementia risk,

00:16making balance crucial.

00:21A Dutch neurology study of 9569 adults found both low, less than or equal to 0.79 millimoles per

00:28liter and high, greater than or equal to 0.9 millimoles per liter. Magnesium levels increase

00:35dementia risk over eight years. Both high and low magnesium levels increase dementia risk by 30%.

00:43Dr. Kibum suggests more research and potential preventive measures through diet or supplements.

00:51Dr. Kibum's study supports past research linking magnesium to cognitive health,

00:56showing high intake lowers dementia risk by 37%, though extremes in levels may raise it.

01:05Experts say magnesium supports heart health, lowers dementia risk, and may reduce inflammation.

01:11Deficiencies often occur with aging, kidney disease, or low vitamin D.

01:16In 6,000 UK adults, higher magnesium intake was linked to larger brain volumes, fewer lesions,

01:26and a younger brain age. Sources include dark chocolate, spinach, and nuts.

01:35The study shows promise but can't prove cause. Experts warn that excess magnesium can be harmful,

01:41so consult a doctor first.

01:47Imbalanced magnesium levels may raise dementia risk. Maintaining balance through diet and medical

01:52advice can help protect brain health.
