Sometimes we overlook the importance of energy in the body. We forget that if we are lacking energy, we are going to start having some missteps or misfirings occur. Many times, we don’t even recognize the true impact that low energy states can have on our overall health and wellness. Today, I want to talk about one particular type of energy in the body and why it’s important to maintain this, especially when we look at cardiovascular health, skeletal muscle health and fatigue.†
As we get older, our cellular energy levels begin to decline. We frequently talk about this in the setting of Coenzyme Q10 because even though it’s made in the body, age and certain medications can block the proper manufacturing of this important nutrient. This can cause you to feel more fatigued or tired, which is an indication that our cells are not functioning at their optimal performance.†

There is something in the body that plays a really critical role in maintaining and restoring energy levels and that is ribose. D-ribose has been shown to increase cellular energy production within the heart and skeletal muscles. If we do not have adequate D-ribose, then we’re going to have a hard time in terms of energy recovery, as well as muscle recovery.†
Ribose is something that is naturally-occurring within our system. It is an essential component to our cellular energy management. It also yields the ability to fend off oxidative stress because it plays a role as an antioxidant. In this role, it can help to ease inflammation.†
Supplementation with D-ribose is a very good choice for those who are dealing with cardiac issues. Ribose works in the production of ATP, as well as in helping to fend off oxidative stress within the heart itself. It is free radical damage that causes an inflammatory response within the heart. If we have adequate levels of ribose, then we know that the cells themselves are being protected from oxidative stress. Ribose can be found in our Ribose Complex, which is a great formulation.†
In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH discusses the powerful nutrient ribose. She details how ribose helps support heart health and energy levels and explains how it also acts as an antioxidant.†

Magnesium is a very, very important mineral. It’s a macromineral, which means you need more of it than of some other minerals. Unfortunately, many Americans do not get sufficient magnesium from their diet. Various medications and diseases may also cause levels of this mineral to decrease.†
Magnesium is needed for hundreds of processes in the human body. If you lack this nutrient, your body just does not work well. This can contribute to issues with blood pressure, heart health, blood sugar, energy levels, bone health and more.†
Here are some other ways that magnesium functions in the body:
Magnesium is one of the nutrients that people consistently lack as they grow older. Diabetics also lose this mineral in their urine, which is tragic because it is needed to help control blood sugar and for insulin to work correctly. Drinking alcohol also depletes magnesium levels. People with digestive tract issues have trouble absorbing the nutrient. People with kidney disease as well as asthmatics may also lack this important mineral.†
Many people do not get enough of this vital mineral through their diet. Magnesium is found in foods such as legumes, green leafy vegetables, seeds, nuts, whole grains and avocados. But for those who do not eat enough of these foods, supplementing is a very good idea.†
Adult women need about 310 mg of magnesium a day, while pregnant women need about 350 mg. Adult men under 30 need 400 mg a day, but when men and women are past the age of 30, they actually require additional magnesium. Women need at least 10 mg more a day and men need at least 20 mg a day.†
In this episode, Jerry Hickey, Ph. explains the important role that the nutrient magnesium plays in the body and why it is so crucial to ensure you’re getting adequate amounts. He offers recommendations for supplementing with this mineral and details several studies about it.†
