Athletes know that intense training is necessary before engaging in competition and, whether you’re a triathlon champion or simply enjoy a daily run, swim or cycle, it’s important to know that intense exercise changes your nutritional needs. Athletes need to make sure they avoid deficiencies that will impair performance and affect their overall well-being. With intense, regular exercise comes an increased need for carbohydrates, protein, water and essential minerals such as magnesium, calcium, iron and potassium, which are at risk of becoming depleted with frequent and intense exercise, especially if the diet is not adequate. Research shows that 7 out of 10 people have a magnesium deficient diet, according to the USDA, which offers research and statistics on magnesium and other nutrients available at: http://www.ars.usda.gov/services/docs.htm?docid=11046. And those doing strenuous exercise, or active people cutting calories to lose weight, are especially vulnerable to magnesium loss. Magnesium is essential to the function of more than 300 enzymes in the body. If the diet is insufficient, a supplement like Slow-Mag® Tablets combines magnesium and calcium, and a separate multivitamin with iron can help athletes meet their nutrient needs.
