  Hey everyone.

• 00:01 - 00:04

  My presentation is on magnesium and asthma.

• 00:06 - 00:07

  So magnesium, what is magnesium?

• 00:08 - 00:10

  It is the second most abundant intracellular cat eye on

• 00:11 - 00:13

  which means that it is positively charged.

• 00:14 - 00:16

  It also plays a role in a bunch of different

• 00:16 - 00:20

  enzyme system processes which we will get into And about

• 00:21 - 00:22

  half of the magnesium in the body.

• 00:23 - 00:27

  So about 50-60% is located and contained in the bones.

• 00:29 - 00:34

  The functions it is responsible for carbohydrate metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism,

• 00:35 - 00:35

  D. N.

• 00:36 - 00:36

  A. And protein synthesis.

• 00:37 - 00:39

  Blood glucose control and blood pressure regulation.

• 00:41 - 00:43

  It is also needed for making a.

• 00:43 - 00:44

  T. P.

• 00:44 - 00:47

  Which we know is the body's major energy source.

• 00:48 - 00:50

  Um In this case it is needed to keep sodium

• 00:50 - 00:55

  and potassium sodium potassium pumps functioning properly to control automatic

• 00:56 - 00:57

  pressure within the body cells.

• 00:58 - 01:01

  Magnesium also plays a role in muscle contraction and relaxation,

• 01:02 - 01:04

  neurological functions and the release of neurotransmitters.

• 01:05 - 01:08

  So in that case it keeps axons in the brains

• 01:09 - 01:13

  basically ready to be able to receive and send signals

• 01:14 - 01:16

  to in front of the neurons muscles.

• 01:19 - 01:23

  Okay, Oh, imbalances of magnesium within the body.

• 01:24 - 01:27

  So there's hippo magna xenia and hyper magna xenia.

• 01:28 - 01:31

  Of course, as you can probably tell, hippo magazine mia

• 01:31 - 01:34

  is an insufficient, insufficient amount of magnesium in the body

• 01:35 - 01:39

  and hyper magna xenia is an excessive amount of magnesium

• 01:40 - 01:40

  in the body.

• 01:41 - 01:46

  Either way, the body cannot function properly when there's either

• 01:46 - 01:46

  of these suits.

• 01:47 - 01:50

  So my hippo magazine, you can lead to muscle cramps,

• 01:51 - 01:55

  charmers, Hyperactive, deep tendon reflexes, confusion, vertigo and seizures.

• 01:56 - 01:59

  Hyper magna xenia can lead to nerve and muscle impairment,

• 02:00 - 02:05

  hypertension, lethargy, urinary retention, loss of the tendon, reflexes, muscle

• 02:06 - 02:07

  paralysis and coma.

• 02:07 - 02:09

  But I didn't add, was that?

• 02:09 - 02:12

  To treat it, treat both of these is basically rectify

• 02:13 - 02:15

  the imbalance in the body.

• 02:15 - 02:19

  So for hippo magna xenia you would add magnesium to

• 02:19 - 02:23

  the body of your high magnesium foods or magnesium supplements.

• 02:24 - 02:25

  For hyper magazine.

• 02:26 - 02:29

  Yah, you would most likely introduced some sort of diuretic

• 02:30 - 02:33

  this way the body can excrete all the excess magazine

• 02:34 - 02:37

  and restore its balance magnesium and restore its ballots.

• 02:39 - 02:42

  Yeah, for my disease, I picked asthma.

• 02:42 - 02:44

  Um I didn't know what to pick, but I have

• 02:45 - 02:46

  asthma. So I thought you know what I can relate.

• 02:47 - 02:52

  Um Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways,

• 02:53 - 02:57

  inflammation causes obstructions of the areas, which leads to wheezing,

• 02:58 - 03:02

  breathlessness, tightness of the chest and cough, coughing.

• 03:03 - 03:06

  Um Usually this happens at night or very early in

• 03:06 - 03:06

  the morning.

• 03:07 - 03:10

  So this is what the airways look like for a

• 03:10 - 03:12

  normal person on the left.

• 03:13 - 03:17

  Um For someone with asthma there everyday normal is the

• 03:17 - 03:17

  one in the middle.

• 03:18 - 03:20

  So that's usually what it looks like and then when

• 03:21 - 03:24

  it's inflamed or when it's acting up um it looks,

• 03:24 - 03:27

  it closes more and it looks more like what's on

• 03:28 - 03:30

  the right causes.

• 03:30 - 03:32

  It can be caused by exercise.

• 03:33 - 03:37

  Um So expanding a lot of energy or having to

• 03:38 - 03:42

  breathe more aggressively I guess you can kind of put

• 03:42 - 03:42

  it like that.

• 03:43 - 03:47

  Um There's allergies, fumes, infections, cold and or dry air

• 03:48 - 03:51

  stress and much much much more.

• 03:51 - 03:52

  There's so much more allergies.

• 03:53 - 03:59

  Itself contains a vast amount of causes for asthma.

• 03:59 - 04:04

  Personally mine is usually exercise induced or cold and dry

• 04:04 - 04:08

  air induced um treatments and managements.

• 04:10 - 04:16

  There is a reliever medications and controller medications, bronchodilators, anti

• 04:16 - 04:19

  coal energy mix and anti inflammatory drugs.

• 04:19 - 04:21

  I'm not sure why bronchodilators is on the choice but

• 04:22 - 04:26

  anyways um personally I believe I have an anti inflammatory,

• 04:28 - 04:32

  I think I'm not 100% sure it's Symbicort and it's

• 04:32 - 04:34

  in our slide somewhere for labs so that's pretty cool.

• 04:35 - 04:36

  Um and that's it.

• 04:37 - 04:39

  Yeah, thank you for listening.

• 04:40 - 04:40

  That is all
