You don’t have to join a gym, spend a lot of money, or even do the same activity every time—just going for a walk or choosing to take the stairs (instead of the elevator) can make a difference.

The SNS connects motor neurons directly to skeletal muscles, while the ANS uses a two-neuron chain for cardiac and smooth muscles and glands. Efferent pathways also differ: SNS utilizes lower motor neurons for somatic reflexes, whereas the ANS employs preganglionic and postganglionic neurons for visceral reflexes.

It contrasts with chronic latent magnesium deficiency (CLMD), resulting from long-term inadequate intake and linked to chronic diseases, particularly cardiovascular and bone conditions.

A deficiency can lead to scurvy, causing various health issues. Ascorbic acid also functions as an antioxidant and improves iron absorption. While it may offer protective benefits against cardiovascular disease and cancer, more research is necessary to confirm these associations.
