Noise — it drives us nuts. It also damages our hearing.\u00a0 As we get older, we see the cumulative effect of the blare of loud music, screaming kids, and roar of traffic of a lifetime.\u00a0 However, there is hope!\u00a0 I read that magnesium, found in bananas, artichokes, broccoli, and potatoes, can help prevent noise-induced hearing loss.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>One thing I\u2019ve learned about online research, though — you have to make sure what you read is so!\u00a0 That\u2019s a challenge, because on almost every subject there will be opposing opinion and \u201cproofs.\u201d \u00a0 I love it when I can find official scientific studies that back up what the sites are saying.\u00a0And this is one that has several studies behind it. One study I found on Pub Med was done with soldiers in basic training in Israel.\u00a0 The course involved repeated exposure to noise.\u00a0 All the soldiers wore earplugs, but one group received 167 mg. of magnesium aspartate.\u00a0 The other group got a placebo.<\/p>\n

The result?\u00a0 The magnesium group had less hearing damage.\u00a0 The amount of damage was directly correlated to the amount of magnesium in the red blood cells.\u00a0 Less magnesium — more hearing damage.<\/p>\n

What can you do to prevent age-related hearing damage?\u00a0 Turn down the volume and eat a banana!<\/p>\n

Eating to live and living for Christ,<\/p>\n
