largest body camera programs in the country. it was launched in 2016 following violent protests over freddie gray's death. a uniformed officer says he was refused service at a virginia mcdonald's. the richmond times dispatch reports the incident happened earlier this week. the game and inland fisheries officer says that he ordered and paid for his food only to have the drive through worker say he wasn't going to kworks edited, receiver the police. another worker eventually gave the officer his food. the franchise owner says the worker went against standards with the comment. we're told that they are taking what's described as appropriate action to resolve this situation. in news for your health now, people tend to think of supplements for the physical boost they can provide, but how about a mental boost. news4's eun yang has results. >> reporter: more and more people are turning to alternative treatments such as nutritional supplements to prevent and treat a range of health es

depression. magnesium is one such supplement that studies are suggesting may offer mental health benefits. joining us now is to discuss how to use magnesium to help with some of this mental health is psychiatrist dr. joshua weiner. so, first of all, what types of mental health benefits can magnesium help with? >> so, magnesium can be helpful for depression, anxiety, and sleep. so, there was a recent study that was published in the last week that looked at using about 240 milligrams of magnesium in the form of magnesium chloride, so people had to take 2,000 milligrams of magnesium chloride to get about 250 milligrams of magnesium, and what they found is that at a clinically significant improvement for people who are trying to address mild to moderate depression. so this is absolutely something that for years now i've been recommending to patients that tod take

i think it's worth considering if you're on the mild range with regard to mood and anxiety problems. certainly i would not recommend this, though, if you're having suicidal ideation or really, really struggling. >> what's a usual use and how do we know that this works. >> we don't exactly know why it works. one of the theories is that the magnesium decreases the production of cortisol, which is the stress hormone and by decreasing cortisol, you're decreasing inflammation and there's more and more evidence coming out that mental health issues are in part do due to an inflammatory response in your body. so, anything that's going to decrease inflammation can have the potential to have a beneficial impact, essentially, on mental health. >> can we get magnesium in our diets or do we have to to take a supplement to get now have make a difference. >> this is interesting. you know, it's found that the average american now is getting about 200 to 300 milligrams less magnesium in the diet compared to decades ago, and the theory behind that is that it ha

depleting the magnesium in the soil. so, yes, you can get this if you eat lots of green leafy vegetables or when you think about fiber, fiber products tend to be high in magnesium, certain nuts, so yes, you can, but the average american is eating about 250 milligrams of magnesium a day, and the recommended amount is more in the 400 to 500 milligram range so oftentimes you are looking at having to take some sort of supplement. >> what about side effects? is there such a thing as too much magnesium and what should we wibe looking out for. >> there's magnesium oxide, chloride, male, tare, the list goes on. the one i tend to recommend is magnesium citrate and i recommend taking roughly 500 milligrams a day of magnesium citrate. you can get diarrhea if you take too much

laxative or stool softening property to it so you need to be on the lookout for that and magnesium can interact with some medications, particularly antibiotics and certain blood pressure medications, so although this tends to be safe for most people, you do want to run it by your doctor just to make sure before you start it. >> because you're getting it over the counter and you should look at how much, the amounts you're getting. >> it's really confusing because even doing my research, it's hard to figure out how much elemental magnesium is in a sample so you have to just really ask, probably get some help from somebody in the store to find out exactly how much you should take to get roughly 250 milligrams of elemental magnesium. >> all right. good information. thanks so much as always. >> my pleasure. >> thanks, eun. plan your trip now. mars day is tomorrow. i mean, to the national air and space museum, not to mars. what you can see and do. and it will be a good day to be inside too. we are in for what could be the hottest stretch of the summer. look at the temperatures right now
