Magnesium is... the hangover mineral
The effect of alcohol on magnesium levels is similar to the effect of diuretics: it lowers magnesium available to the cells by increasing the excretion of magnesium by the kidneys. In studies, clinical magnesium deficiency was found in 30% of people who drink more than seven drinks in a week. Increased alcohol intake also contributes to decreased efficiency of the digestive system, as well as Vitamin D deficiency, both of which can contribute to low magnesium levels. Magnesium can help break down alcohol and eliminate it from the body. Next time you head out for the night, make sure your stocked up on Level Lemonade!
