Magnesium and Muscles

Magnesium helps your muscles' cells to relax after contracting. When magnesium levels are low, your muscles may contract too much and cause symptoms such as cramps and muscle spasms, twitches or muscle weakness.


Getting enough magnesium is vital for our health. Not only for our muscles, but heart, mind and bones.


Some of the many benefits of Magnesium are:

•boosts exercise performance

•combats depression

•reduces anxiety

•helps blood sugar levels

•promotes heart health

•is an anti-inflammatory

•promotes bone health

•supports better sleep



So if you are suffering from the following...

•muscle cramps

•restless leg syndrome

•restlessness and loss of sleep

•mental health conditions

•irregular heartbeat

•osteoporosis


....consider getting more magnesium.


Foods & Supplementation:


Magnesium is widely found in plant sources. The richest sources are in seeds (especially pumpkin and Chia) and nuts (almonds and cashews) but whole grains, beans and leafy green vegetables are also good sources.


Recent studies show that 75% adults are deficient in this important mineral. So lets consider eating more foods high in magnesium and possibly even adding magnesium supplements. Here are some forms that tend to absorb well that you can easily be purchased over-the-counter at your local health food store--magnesium citrate, glycinate, orotate and carbonate.
