In addition to the traditional set of nutrients - fats, proteins and carbohydrates that form the basis of the diet - one needs, and other substances such as vitamins and minerals, a very important component of the diet and the guarantee of proper operation of all body systems. Most vitamins except vitamin D, minerals, and the body is unable to synthesize their own - they only enter the body from food or nutritional supplements. Because these substances are involved in many biochemical processes in the body, the lack of them can cause a malfunction of some organ systems and have a negative impact on human health. If initially unbalanced diet, for whatever reasons, to prevent nutritional deficiencies can only use vitamin or mineral complexes - one of which is Magne B6.

What is Magne B6

Magne B6 belongs to a class of dietary supplements, and is actually a drug that combines magnesium and vitamin B6, or pyridoxine. The pharmacological action of the drug is explained by the properties of these two components:

Magnesium - element exerting an antispasmodic effect suppressing abnormal muscle activity (cramps, spasms) and the activity of the central and peripheral nervous system (thus providing magnesium obscheuspokaivayuschee effect and helps to eliminate the symptoms of increased nervousness, irritability, emotional stress). Magnesium is involved in many biochemical processes in the body and, in particular, plays an important role in the synthesis of proteins and enzymes. The lack of magnesium in the body can cause spasms of smooth muscles, increased irritability and nervousness, sleep disturbances Dreams: how to understand our dreams .

Vitamin B6, or pyridoxine - water-soluble vitamin, an essential "party" of the process of synthesis of blood cells, red blood cells and white blood cells with the properties of phagocytes (white blood cells such properties provide the ability to absorb harmful microorganisms). Vitamin B6 is essential for maintenance of normal health of many body systems: pyridoxine is involved in the metabolism of amino acids, neuromodulators and various enzymes, supports the normal function of the heart, nervous system, liver.

Efficiency Magne B6 is largely explained, not only beneficial properties of magnesium and pirodoksin individually, but also the phenomenon of synergy: combining constituting the drug enhances the beneficial effects of each other.

Indications for admission

Like any vitamin complex, Magne B6 is useful primarily when confirmed deficiency of magnesium and vitamin B6 - a lack of these substances in the body provokes quite distinct symptoms. You can take the drug for preventive purposes, such as regular eating disorders: if one is not enough in the diet of foods rich in magnesium, can make up for the deficit was due to Magne B6. In addition, Magne B6 is shown in some diseases and disorders of the cardiovascular and nervous systems: the drug will be useful in the treatment of hypertension Hypertension - Control your blood pressure , Heart rhythm disturbances and blood circulation, various nervous disorders.

No side effects have practically no Magne B6, and this, combined with the beneficial properties of magnesium and vitamin B6, makes the drug particularly useful for pregnant women. Use Magne B6 (and, more precisely, its components) during pregnancy is enormous:

• During pregnancy, the body's need for vitamins and minerals increases as fetal development, and regular intake of Magne B6 will compensate for the lack of nutrients;
• Magnesium in the composition of the drug inhibits the activity of the muscles, reducing the contractile activity of the muscle fibers, and therefore particularly useful for the possible threat of miscarriage Miscarriage - can you protect yourself from it? , Increased risk of spontaneous abortion due to uterine tone;
• And magnesium, and vitamin B6 as part of Magne B6 is absolutely essential for normal, healthy development of the fetus;
• Magne B6 helps fight nervousness, irritability Irritability - you try to control my temper , Emotional stress that often accompany pregnancy (especially the first for women).

Legumes are dicots - one of their characteristic features is that their seeds are composed of two halves. To include edible beans such as peas, beans, lentils, soybeans, peanuts. Since the nutritional value of peanuts making it more similar to the nuts, the rate of consumption is significantly lower for him than for legumes.

Legumes are an important product of many national cuisines in the world, but in the West they are used relatively little. Meanwhile, legumes - it is inexpensive, nutritious source of protein, which can replace human animal proteins. Animal proteins are generally rich in saturated fats in the legume contain unsaturated fats - and those in the minimum amount.

Legumes also are an excellent source of minerals, dietary fiber, and other important health matter. Soybeans today attracts the attention of many scientists as a unique source of phytoestrogens known as isoflavones. In other legumes, these substances are practically absent, but they have other useful elements that contribute to the treatment and prevention of many diseases.

Legumes and disease prevention

• Type 2 diabetes

The ability of the carbohydrate foods raise blood sugar levels Blood sugar Blood sugar - a very important indicator   - One of the main indicators of human health   designated glycemic index. Typically, foods with a high glycemic index cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels, because of which the pancreas produces more insulin The principles of action of insulin - the science of saving lives Than after ingestion nizkoglikemicheskih products. Chronically elevated blood sugar levels and the development of excessive amounts of insulin gradually can lead to the development of Type II diabetes. Since most legumes low glycemic index, and their replacement with foods such as rice and potatoes have a high glycemic index may help prevent Type II diabetes, as well as the prevention of deterioration.

Obesity is another factor contributing to the development of Type II diabetes. Numerous studies have shown that delaying the appearance of products nizkoglikemicheskie hunger and reduce the appetite. In addition, it was found that a diet dominated nizkoglikemicheskie products helps to quickly cope with the extra weight. Legumes thus contribute to the prevention of obesity, and if necessary, help to lose weight.

According to one study, which involved men and older women, regular consumption of legumes can prevent the development of glucose intolerance Glucose: The energy source .

• Cardiovascular diseases

In one study, researchers for 19 years watching over the health of men and women who hold different diets. It was found that those who have eaten beans, lentils, peas or at least four times a week, the risk of cardiovascular disease was 21% lower than those who eat legumes less frequently than once a week. Regular consumption of legumes, in addition, 6-7% reduces the blood cholesterol level.

This effect is due to several legumes their characteristics. Legumes are rich in soluble fiber, which has the property of lowering cholesterol levels. Increased levels of homocysteine ​​in plasma associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease; legumes contain a lot of folic acid, which helps to lower homocysteine ​​levels. Magnesium and potassium, which are rich in beans, reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering blood pressure.

• Cancer

Some scientific evidence suggests that pulses contribute to the prevention of certain cancers, particularly prostate cancer. However, currently available research results is not enough to draw definitive conclusions.

Moderate consumption

Once the beans were part of the diet in a fairly large number. From them prepare stews, soups, which now appear less frequently. Some say they are not very easy to cook - it takes a long time. In fact, today, this problem should not exist, because they can be found in canned form, if you do not have time.

In order to avoid any adverse effects from the gastrointestinal tract (bloating and flatulence) is recommended before cooking raw vegetables boiled for a few minutes.

The glory of "heavy" products

Another reason for which many are afraid to eat bean - it is their reputation of products from which are fattening. But do not blame overweight eating nutritious legumes - they ate for centuries without the threat of obesity, but now, with the development of the industry with its salted and smoked, for some reason they got into the list of deprecated and perpetrators in the worldwide epidemic of completeness.

To avoid the possibility of gaining weight, just do not need to eat beans with fatty meats and sausages, which are far superior to them by the number of calories and fat content.

The nutritional value

In its dry form, beans are a rich source of protein (25%), minerals, vitamins, fiber, complex carbohydrates (45-55%), but they do not contain fat.

When subjected to heat treatment, for example, fried, naturally, they lose some of the necessary substances and fat gain, but still are very useful in this form. They remain magnesium, 4-5% fiber needed for normal digestive process.

The kind beans contain about 100-120 kcal per 100 g Thus, you can immediately eliminate the risk of sudden weight gain just from eating legumes. Their nutritional value is too great to abandon them on the pretext of weight loss. However, the problem of bloating is in this case imperative that, of course, deprives them of the fans.
