💫 Magnesium Deficiency and How it Affects You 💫
💫 Magnesium is one of the most important, yet often overlooked, minerals in the body.
It’s involved in over 300 biochemical reactions, influencing everything from muscle function to mood regulation.
When your magnesium levels drop too low, the effects can ripple through multiple systems.
💫 Common Signs of Magnesium Deficiency.
• Muscle cramps and spasms: Magnesium helps muscles relax after contraction. Low levels can cause tightness, twitches, or nighttime leg cramps.
• Fatigue and weakness:
Magnesium is vital for energy production in your cells. Without enough, you may feel constantly tired or sluggish.
• Anxiety, irritability, or depression: This mineral supports neurotransmitter balance and helps regulate stress hormones.
• Sleep disturbances:
Magnesium calms the nervous system and supports melatonin production — both key for restful sleep.
• Headaches and migraines: Deficiency is linked to increased nerve excitability and blood vessel constriction.
• Heart rhythm changes:
Magnesium plays a role in maintaining a steady heartbeat and normal blood pressure.
💫 How to Replenish Magnesium
• Eat magnesium-rich foods:
Dark leafy greens, nuts, seeds, avocado, legumes, and whole grains.
• Kinesiology test to see which Magnesium supplement best suits you.
• Manage stress and hydration: Chronic stress and dehydration can deplete magnesium stores faster.
