Made of Metal: Magnesium

Posted by Staff on May 2, 2024 - 6:00am

By Karen L. Kier
Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU Healthwise Team

Magnesium is a shiny gray earth metal with the atomic number of 12. It is the eleventh most abundant element found in the body. Magnesium is essential for the proper function of cells and over 300 enzyme systems.

Magnesium is an intracellular cation, meaning large quantities are found in tissue, cells, and organs rather than in the blood. This makes sense because cells need magnesium to function properly. 

Magnesium is extremely important for the heart including a normal rhythm and regulating blood pressure. It is an essential ingredient for the production of energy for the body. The regulation of nerve function, blood sugar control and muscle contractions are dependent on magnesium.  Magnesium contributes to bone development and maintenance.

Five new trees planted at Bluffton Community Pool

By Paula Pyzik Scott

In my limited experience, Arbor Day events are not big on drama. During Bluffton’s 2024 event at the Community Pool, two tiny party crashers upstaged members of the Tree Commission for the entire hour the Icon was there.

By Paula Pyzik Scott

For the upcoming weekend of May 4-5, I'd love to be a non-fiction Hermione Granger or at least to borrow her magical time turner that allows her to be in more than one place at once.
