Magnesium and Why We Need It
Have you ever felt restless at night and tired during the day? How about stressed and filled with anxiety? Do you suffer from migraines? What about a nice bout of good ol’ PMS??? I have been there!!! Life shows up and our bodies show out. It just seems so unfair.
But what if I told you it doesn’t have to be that way? That God made our bodies to heal many ailments on their own, if we just get all of the nutrients, vitamins and minerals we were meant to have?
Enter Magnesium! Seriously, when I found out about this essential mineral and how over 300 functions in our body rely on it, I was blown away. 75% of us don’t get enough of it, and as a result our bodies are reeling! Take a look at my video all about magnesium below 🙂
Magnesium does so many things, but here are just a few MAJOR areas where we will probably find relief when we get our fair share:
- PMS
- Period Pain
- Anxiety
- Inflammation
- Insomnia
- Soreness after workouts
- Pain
- Migraines
- Nerve Pain
In addition, Magnesium helps with absorption of calcium, activates vitamin D, lowers the risk of Type 2 Diabetes, aids in heart and gut health. It even helped my Plantar Fasciitis!
We women need about 320mg of Magnesium a day, and we can get that through the foods we eat- like bananas, spinach, cashews, almonds, seeds, avocados and more.
We can fill in any gaps with magnesium supplements. When taking a supplement, be sure to take Magnesium Glycinate so that you don’t clean yourself out, if you catch my drift… it’s gentler on the stomach.
You can also use magnesium chloride flakes to take a bath in (better than Epsom salts which are magnesium sulfate). You can even make your own magnesium oil with them. I use the Ancient Minerals Brand, which you can find on Amazon.
In short, get you some magnesium so you can start living your best life! Try to get your 320mg every day for a month and just watch what happens! Your body might just start operating how it’s meant to!
Be blessed and thanks for stopping by!
