Magnesium

Magnesium is a mineral found in leafy greens, whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds. You can also source it from fortified cereals. You should reach the minimum magnesium requirement as long as you have a well-balanced diet. However, magnesium supplements can help bridge the gap for optimal health.

Health benefits of magnesium

Magnesium is not usually at the top of people’s list when it comes to taking supplements, but having enough is critical for a nurtured and balanced body. It also has beauty purposes and may help migraine sufferers. Below are the benefits of magnesium supplements:

Balances moods

Magnesium stabilises the release of multiple hormones, including the release of serotonin and dopamine (happy hormones) and cortisol (the stress hormone). When the body has a stress imbalance, you can experience a racing heart, irritability and depression. However, magnesium harmonises hormones, relaxing the body and elevating your moods.

Softens skin

You don’t just have to ingest magnesium. You can absorb products like magnesium gels and magnesium flakes through the skin. The natural exfoliation buffs away dead skin cells to reveal a silky smooth layer. This makes it the perfect mineral to add to a soothing bath or beautifying bedtime routine.

Increases bone health

Magnesium is a key component in strong bone health. Therefore, a daily supplement can fortify bones against weakness or bone health conditions - such as osteoporosis.

May reduce migraines

No one likes a migraine. They can make you feel ill for hours if not days on end. However, taking a magnesium supplement could help migraines by releasing dopamine in the brain (a natural pain reliever). 

Better sleep

Magnesium plays a significant role in releasing the sleep hormone melatonin, which produces a tired feeling, helping you to fall asleep. Unfortunately, many people use screens before bed. These devices emit blue light, suppressing melatonin and making sleeping challenging. So switch the smartphone for a Magnesium Sleep Lotion and drift off into a slumber.
