Know Your Magnesium

Magnesium is an often overlooked mineral. As @DrMarkHyman says, Anything that is tight, irritable, crampy, and stiff — whether it is a body part or even a mood — is a sign of magnesium deficiency. 3 in 4 people are deficient. It is easy to correct with food and supplements if we know how. 

Why Magnesium is essential: 

• Functioning of over 300 enzymes  

• For better heart health 

• Improves sleep and relaxation  

• Reduces inflammation 

• Can offset cramping pains- as in headaches or period pain 

Why we’re deficient in Magnesium: 

• Processed food 

• Coffee 

• Stress 

• Hormone imbalances 

• Alcohol
