Emerging evidence suggests that magnesium deficiency may be linked to asthma. Magnesium helps to relax the bronchial muscles and widen the airways, making breathing easier. A deficiency can lead to tightened airways, exacerbating asthma symptoms. Some studies have shown that intravenous magnesium can relieve acute asthma attacks, highlighting the importance of this mineral in respiratory health.
