There are three main effects of disorder of the brain or adrenal glands in human’s body: stress hormones, health degeneration, and unexpected death. Magnesium of the minerals has the most correlation with stress. When human’s body feels stress, adrenaline secretion makes magnesium emissions outwards of body. These extreme emissions cause the lack of magnesium, as a result stress appears.
