Struggling with poor sleep or insomnia? 💤

A recent clinical trial from the Nature and Science of Sleep Journal found that after four weeks, individuals taking magnesium bisglycinate showed a significantly greater reduction in insomnia symptoms and better sleep quality compared to those on placebo. 😴

Insomnia symptoms were measured using the Insomnia Severity Index, as well as quantifying sleep quality, fatigue, mood, stress, and daytime sleepiness scores. The supplemented group received 250 mg of elemental magnesium and approx. 1.5 g of glycine per day for 28 days. Researchers found ISI scores improved by 3.9 points on average, compared to 2.3 in the placebo group.

💊 Magnesium glycinate is a highly bioavailable form of magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine, making it easier for the body to absorb and more gentle on the stomach compared to other forms of magnesium. Magnesium glycinate is particularly useful for relaxation, sleep quality, and muscle cramps.

Dealing with sleep issues is a widespread challenge for those facing advanced lung cancers, affecting both physical and mental well-being, quality of life, and even survival. 😴 Exciting findings from a recent study reveal that both aerobic exercise and tai chi can make a positive impact on sleep, stress levels, physical function, and circadian rhythm. 🏃🏻‍♀️ Notably, tai chi stood out with greater improvements in sleep and increased survival rates. 🛌 If you're navigating advanced lung cancer and struggle with sleep, just two 60-minute sessions per week - whether it's aerobic exercise or tai chi - could make a real difference in your sleep quality. 🌿 PMID: 38060250
