Magnesium & Folate – Prevents Hearing Loss
Every organ in the body — especially the heart, muscles, and kidneys — needs the mineral magnesium. It also contributes to the makeup of teeth and bones. Most important, it activates enzymes, contributes to energy production, and helps regulate calcium levels as well as copper, zinc, potassium, vitamin D, and other important nutrients in the body.
You can get magnesium from many foods. Foods rich in magnesium include whole grains, nuts, and green vegetables. Green leafy vegetables are particularly good sources of magnesium.
Noise-related hearing loss
One study suggests that taking magnesium may prevent temporary or permanent hearing loss due to very loud noise.
Dietary Sources:
Rich sources of magnesium include tofu, legumes, whole grains, green leafy vegetables, wheat bran, Brazil nuts, soybean flour, almonds, cashews, blackstrap molasses, pumpkin and squash seeds, pine nuts, and black walnuts. Other good dietary sources of this mineral include peanuts, whole wheat flour, oat flour, beet greens, spinach, pistachio nuts, shredded wheat, bran cereals, oatmeal, bananas, and baked potatoes (with skin), chocolate, and cocoa powder. Many herbs, spices, and seaweeds supply magnesium, such as agar seaweed, coriander, dill weed, celery seed, sage, dried mustard, basil, cocoa powder, fennel seed, savory, cumin seed, tarragon, marjoram, poppy seed.
Pediatric
Do not give magnesium supplements to a child without a doctor’ s supervision.
- Infants and children up to 3 years of age: 40 – 80 mg daily
- Children 4 – 6 years of age: 120 mg daily
- Children 7 – 10 years of age: 170 mg daily
Adult
- Adolescent and adult males: 270 – 400 mg daily
- Adolescent and adult females: 280 – 300 mg daily
- Pregnant females: 320 mg daily
- Breastfeeding females: 340 – 335 mg daily
A person’ s need for magnesium increases during pregnancy, recovery from surgery and illnesses, and athletic training.
Folate may prevent hearing loss in men Increased intakes of folate and folic acid may reduce the risk of hearing loss in men by 20 per cent.
Antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, and beta-carotene were not associated with any benefits.
The study identified men with hearing loss. When the nutritional data was analyzed, men over the age of 60 with high folate intake from foods and supplements had a 20 per cent decrease in risk of developing hearing loss.
This is not the first time the B vitamin has been linked to the prevention of hearing loss, the most common sensory disorder, affecting millions of people. Folic acid supplements delayed age-related hearing loss in the low frequency region in a study of men and women between the ages of 50 and 70
