How to Maintain Proper Nutrition and Bone Health in Celiac Disease Patients

Taking in the right amount of magnesium is essential for a healthier bone development. People who take in magnesium below the required amount, especially with celiac disease and malabsorption, there is an increased possibility of being deficient in this particular nutrient. Even if this is the case, magnesium’s role in bone development and structure is still sometimes ignored by many people.

The main role of magnesium in the human bones is to keep the structure together. If the human bones are only made up of calcium, they would be frail and easy to break, just like a piece of chalk. If a piece of chalk is dropped on the floor, it would easily break into pieces because it is only made up of calcium carbonate.

But if you add other nutrients, like magnesium to the bone composition, the whole structure would be more stable and harder. It makes bones more resilient so that they can withstand impacts and pressures. It practically completes the composition to create the perfect condition for the bones to develop.
