Magnesium Deficiency, Inflammation and Nervous System Hyperexcitability

The first five parts in this series detailed several factors contributing to the diet-induced pro-inflammatory state. In review, it should be clear that grains are pro-inflammatory on many levels. Among other things, they are acidic and contain omega-6 fatty acids that promote the production of inflammatory eicosanoids and cytokines. Fruits and vegetables are alkaline, and green vegetables, in particular, contain anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids.
