The Dhaka Times Desk If you have bone problems despite having adequate levels of calcium and vitamin D in your blood, then it is better to check your magnesium levels.
Minerals are needed to carry out various physiological functions. Although there are minerals like sodium, potassium and calcium in the list of important minerals, the role of magnesium is not less. This mineral is required for proper management of various chemical activities taking place inside the body. Doctors say, if there are bone problems despite having sufficient levels of calcium and vitamin D in the blood, then it is better to check the magnesium level. This mineral can also play a role in sudden mood swings for no apparent reason.
Sudden muscle tension
Many people do not want to pay much attention to this kind of problem. If you don't drink enough water throughout the day, your leg muscles may suddenly feel tight. That problem, however, is temporary. Doctors say, if such muscle tension problem is regular, then it can also be a symptom of magnesium deficiency.
Irregular heartbeat
Like clockwork, the heartbeat also has a rhythm. The heart of a healthy and normal person follows that rhythm. However, a person's heart rate may suddenly decrease or increase if the level of magnesium in the blood decreases. In medical terms, this disease is known as 'Arrhythmia'.
Anxiety and depression
Nothing like that may have happened. Can't find any reason to be upset. But it's getting annoying. Doctors say, magnesium is behind this problem. Magnesium helps in proper functioning of nerves. A Harvard University report prepared on the basis of data obtained from various surveys says the same thing.
brittle bones
Many people believe that calcium and vitamin D are two essential nutrients for bone health. However, various studies have shown that, besides these two elements, magnesium is quite important in bone care. Not having enough magnesium can increase the risk of osteoporosis.
Fatigue with little effort
It is normal to feel tired after working hard. If you feel sleepy or tired even after waking up, it is not very normal for healthy people. Doctors say magnesium deficiency can be the cause of this fatigue. Source: Anandabazar Patrika Online.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
