The Benefits of Magnesium
MAGNIFICENT MAGNESIUM
Magnesium is an essential ion to the human body, playing an instrumental role in supporting and sustaining health and life. Magnesium is involved in over 600 enzymatic reactions including energy metabolism, protein synthesis, transmission of nerve impulses and metabolism of food.
The awesome benefits:
Blood sugar control
Blood pressure control
Improves your mood
Improves sleep
Today, our soils are deleted of magnesium and other important minerals because of poor agricultural farming habits. The use of chemicals especially fluoride and chlorine in water also make magnesium less available.
Supplement with Mega Magnesium and boost your magnesium levels.
The daily use of sugar and caffeine also deplete magnesium supplies within the body. Today we live a high-stress life meaning it is likely that you are magnesium deficient.
Here are some more awesome benefits of Magnesium:
Blood sugar control
Magnesium helps manage insulin levels in the body and can prevent blood sugar spikes and crashes from occurring.
Blood pressure control
Magnesium also plays a large role in blood pressure control, preventing high blood pressure from occurring, especially when combined with enough potassium in the diet. When combined with adequate levels of potassium it controls stress that can elevate insulin levels and improves overall blood pressure that, when out of control, increases insulin resistance and can cause type 2 diabetes to occur more easily.
Depression
Magnesium is essential for proper brain function and mood regulation. Research indicates that without enough magnesium, you are more susceptible to depression.
Stress
Low magnesium levels have been attributed to an increase in anxiety. A diet low in magnesium changes the types of bacteria present in the gut and alters anxiety-based behaviour.
Brain Power
Research has shown that mice given extra magnesium had better working memory long-term memory and a greater ability to learn. Elevating brain magnesium content via increasing magnesium intake could be a useful new strategy to enhance cognitive abilities.
Magnesium boosting foods include: Bananas, spinach, almonds, cacao, Pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, chia, hemp and flax seeds, organic coffee(black only). Please note that calcium from milk and refined sugar can interfere with magnesium absorption.
Here are a few signs that you may be magnesium deficient:
Anxiety
Depression
Muscle cramps
High blood pressure
Hormone problems
Sleep issues
Low energy
Low vitamin D
Low vitamin K
