A prominent gastroenterologist in the United States emphasizes the crucial role of magnesium in maintaining liver health as a shield against oxidative damage and inflammation, key factors in diseases like NAFLD. Magnesium deficiency can lead to increased liver fat accumulation and disruption of insulin function. The liver, being the largest internal organ, performs numerous essential functions in the human body, including blood filtration, nutrient breakdown, toxin elimination, metabolism, digestion, and immune support. Dr. Joseph Salhab, a respected gastroenterologist based in Florida, highlights the significance of magnesium for liver health. Magnesium, the fourth most abundant cation in the body, supports nerve, muscle function, heart health, blood sugar regulation, bone strength, energy production, relaxation, inflammation reduction, electrolyte balance, hydration, DNA and protein synthesis.
