The simple truth about magnesium
When magnesium is depleted from the blood due to physical and emotional stress,
the body is forced to borrow from deposits in the bones and muscles. When this
happens repeatedly over time, your bones and muscles can suffer. But it doesn't

indispensable as a cofactor in crucial bodily processes. The

Vitamin D helps prevent falls
A study done by Australian researchers at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital reveals that women with a history of falls who consumed vitamin D supplements have a lower risk of falling than women who did not receive D, especially during winter when exposure to sunlight is much lower.
The study involved 302 women aged 70 to 90 who received 1,000 IU of supplemental D or a placebo for one year. Fifty three percent of those receiving D experienced a fall over the course of the year. Vitamin D was found to lower the risk of experiencing a first fall during winter and spring, but not multiple falls. No reduction in falls was indicated for summer and autumn.
Researchers concluded that 1,000 international units per day of vitamin D2 or D3, along with a high calcium intake is associated with 23 percent reduction of the risk of falling in winter/spring.
