Why Might Your Feet Hurt?

Why might you hurt?


Did you know certain supplements can protect you again disease?  I want to focus on Magnesium. 

Potential health benefits to taking magnesium include reduced risk of diabetes, protection against osteoporosis, maintaining healthily blood pressure and reduced risk of coronary artery disease.  Foods rich in magnesium are leafy green vegetables like spinach, beans, fruits like bananas and apricots and nuts and seeds.  It is common for the American diet to be low in magnesium levels due to eating less fruits and vegetable since our fast food life style or mineral depleted soil for growing vegetables.

Some symptoms of low levels of Magnesium are chronic fatigue, weakness, insomnia, poor memory, mental fog, muscle cramping and numbness.  Because these symptoms can overlap, let you Doctor know how you feel and possibly get a blood test to check your levels.  Most studies recommend between 400 mg – 700 mg. per day of Magnesium.

Before you start any supplement check with your Physician to prevent any side affects. If you have foot pain, please contact our office - 440-946-5858 at Affiliated Podiatrists, INC.
