Did you know that most people do NOT get the minimum recommended daily amount (RDA) of magnesium? Even more, 19% of the population doesn’t even get 50% of the the RDA!

Are you eating some of these foods on a daily basis?
🍫
Magnesium is a cofactor that is used in >300 enzymatic reactions and competes with calcium to reduce irritability in our cells.
🥬
Adequate magnesium consumption and even therapeutic supplementation of magnesium shifts the body out of the sympathetic nervous system state (fight or flight) and into the parasympathetic state.
🥑
Activation of the parasympathetic nervous system allows us to reduce the excitability in the body, open up the blood vessels (increase circulation), and promote a more relaxed and rested state. This can be especially beneficial to improve sleep if supplemented around bed time.
🍫
Magnesium has been proven to decrease the amount of circulating substance P (reduction of perceived stress, pain, & survival signaling) at night.
🥑
Additionally, magnesium’s role in opening up the vessels (vasodilation) in the circulatory system and airways has been proven to decrease blood pressure and provide relief for minor chronic asthma as well as migraines.
🍫
Magnesium is also anti-arrhythmic, supports bone health, and can be especially beneficial for diabetics (and pre-diabetics) by improving insulin sensitivity and postprandial blood glucose response. Optimal magnesium levels are also essential for proper Vitamin D absorption/metabolism.
