✨Did you know that magnesium is needed for over 300 chemical reactions in the body? It is important for the normal function and maintenance of the nervous system, muscles, bones, the immune system, and it helps to support mental health and blood sugar levels.
While 20-40% of the general population are deficient or sub-optimal, in some people with certain conditions the rates to may go up to 100%, such as: Migraine, osteoporosis, muscle cramps, chronic pain, depression/anxiety, chronic fatigue syndrome.
Thus common symptoms of being low in magnesium include:
- fatigue
- generalised muscle aches and pains
- headaches/migraines
- low mood/mild depression
- poor sleep/insomnia
- muscle cramps.
Increased inflammation from magnesium deficiency will exacerbate pre-existing problems and increase your risk of weaker/fragile bones (osteoporosis), heart attacks, strokes and diabetes.
Magnesium is largely found in foods such as spinach, nuts, seeds and legumes. Less well known is that, due to modern farming methods, soil is not as nutrient dense as it was 70-80 years ago. Foods can be up to 40% less rich in nutrients.
