For women, it is common to let their health take second place as they juggle family, career, social life, exercise etc. If your busy lifestyle has you feeling tired, stressed and out of balance, magnesium could be just the thing that your body is craving!
Magnesium plays an important role in all stages of a woman’s life! It’s crucial for bone formation throughout the reproductive years and helps to maintain a healthy menstrual cycle (hormonal balance). Magnesium in women is also beneficial for;
🌷Alleviating PMS symptoms and menstrual pain
🌷Reducing the frequency of migraines and headaches
🌷Improving sleep quality
🌷Balancing blood sugar and reduces cravings
🌷Improving mitochondrial function..just to name a few!
Factors such as stress, reproductive hormonal changes (e.g. pregnancy) and long-term use of the oral contraceptive pill can reduce magnesium levels in women. With just under 40% of Australian female adults consuming inadequate amounts of magnesium daily, managing your magnesium levels doesn’t have to be complex! Focus on incorporating foods rich in magnesium into your daily diet, or speak to your healthcare practitioner about how you can rapidly replenish your magnesium levels through quality supplementation.🙌
