Alok K.S. Thakur

Neurological diseases incidence and prevalence is increasing at an alarming rate globally leading to number of deaths. According a study, burden of neurological disease in US was about $800 million in 2014 with about 32% population suffering from one or more of >1000 neurological disorders. Despite comparative poverty in developing countries, incidence of neurological diseases is comparatively lower than the developed countries. Consumption of pure sodium salt in developed countries appears to be one of the major culprit disturbing serum magnesium levels compared to developing nations where consumption of natural salt (a rich source of magnesium) is still common.
