Our modern, fast-paced lifestyle and the
change of farming practices over the
years means we are getting less and less
magnesium from food sources, resulting
in our body craving it; this is where
magnesium supplements can be useful.
Many of us need magnesium
supplements but have limited
information as to why and how it works
within the body. In brief, diet, lifestyle
and activity levels all use up your
precious magnesium stores.
Signs of magnesium deficiencies include
muscle twitches, irritability, poor heart
health, fatigue, muscle weakness,
muscle cramps, nausea, anxiety,
high blood pressure, type II diabetes,
respiratory issues, dizziness, potassium
or calcium deficiency, poor memory or
confusion.
or topical application of magnesium
(e.g. magnesium oil) is the fastest and
safest way to restore magnesium levels,
as your skin will only absorb what it
needs and disregard the rest.
Of course, an individual’s health
requirements should be determined by
a doctor before using any magnesium
products.
