Happy Weekend 🥳

Did you know that stress depletes your body of magnesium? AND low magnesium levels intensify stress — creating a vicious cycle. Lock downs, working from home, not working, home-schooling kids, cancelled holidays, uncertainty of what tomorrow brings, creates a level of stress even in the most chilled out person.

Magnesium plays an important role in regulating the body’s response to stress and sleep. It interacts with GABA, a neurotransmitter that reduces the activity of neurons in the brain, quieting and calming the nervous system helping to encourage sleep. It also impacts melatonin, the hormone that influences the body’s sleep-wake cycles, and relaxes muscles to induce a deeper sleep.

As important as magnesium is, many of us don’t get enough. Here are some easy ways to add food as medicine into your days.

Try and fill your day with as many of these seven sources of magnesium as you can 🥑🥜🥦

1. Silverbeet
2. Black beans
3. Avocados
4. Almonds
5. Pumpkin seeds
6. Flaxseeds
7. Edamame

If your looking to supplement magnesium its important that you get a good quality supplement (like with all). Its key to get something that your body can tolerate, its of good quality, with no added sugars, colourings, additives or artificial flavourings. Reach out if you'd like some help in finding what type of magnesium might be right for you.

Snacks for Athletes #1

~~ PISTACHIOS ~~

Pistachios are nutrient dense with high levels of potassium (which is lost when we sweat) as well as vitamins A, B6, manganese and copper. Replacing minerals lost during exercise is crucial for muscle function. If you've ever suffered a muscle cramp before you'll appreciate how important this is.

Pistachios are also high in zeaxanthin (besides being a fancy term) has been shown to reduce muscle degeneration.

Try a handful after school before sport, or right after a workout. Your body will thank you 😀

SLEEP AND SPORT.... ⁠
⁠
Sleep is a major part of the recovery between bouts of exercise, with evidence suggesting that increased sleep duration, and improved sleep quality in athletes is associated with improved performance and competitive success! Also better sleep quality may reduce the risk of both injury and illness in athletes. ⁠
⁠
How does light affect our sleep? ⁠
⁠
Light influences our circadian rhythms, melatonin production and sleep cycles. ⁠
⁠
Our circadian rhythm is our 24-hour internal clock that coordinates our sleep and is powerfully influenced by light exposure. When exposed to only natural light our circadian rhythm becomes closely syncronised with sunrise and sunset (thats why we sleep so well camping). Add in artificial light and our sleep quality can be affected majorly. Adding in natural light early in the morning pushes our sleep schedule earlier in the evening allowing us to fall asleep naturally without needing sleep aids. ⁠
⁠
If your having trouble sleeping, and no not if you cant drag yourself away from the Olympics (guilty) try and get 10 - 15 minutes of direct light onto your face (not through sunglasses or windows) as close to waking as you can. Try and reduce the amount of artificial light you have on in the evenings. Try lamps or low lights.... and try and reduce the time spent on computers and phones. ⁠
