Magnesium

The discovery i made was shocking. My food craving where all energy fatty foods that so many of us spend huge money on. Hamburgers, fries, pop, too much coffee, lots and lots of sweets, etc... I was moody, tired all the time and hungry for the wrong foods. One night, I was woken up with extremely warm ears and it concerned me. So after about 20 minutes of researching online for something concrete, i learned i was suffering from Adrenal Fatigue at extreme levels. Learning that the low levels of magnesium in my body surprised me. Both women and men can suffer from AF if a better balance diet isn't addressed. My job at the time had me working long hours and no time to cook, which forced me go spend way too much many at fast food joints trying to eat healthy. It wasn't enough! This was a wake up call that i had to do better and that meant putting my foot down to actually get some real food in me while sitting down. They didn't like it much, but there isn't a job out there that is worth more than my health. I started to say ‘no' to covering everyone shifts so i could get control of my health. You can too!

With further research, i discovered that every part of the body needed it on a daily basis. From managing stress, sugar levels, sleep, and body aches. I take 500-750mg a day, depending on how i feel that day. I do take 500mg right before bed every night, which allows the body to fully absorb it. My personal reasons for taking it are back/neck pain, muscle cramps, family inherited health issues (diabetes & heart issues), and sugar cravings.

The long term damage done to the body when there is a constant deficiency is diabetes, depression, weaken bones, RLS, heart health, lungs, brain health and others. It maintains the health of the tissue in the body and allows absorption of proteins and other minerals. Please pay attention to your food cravings and see if you're getting enough magnesium.

If you already take certain supplements by a certain company and you trust the company & product. Then you can add this so your daily needs can be met.

Not everyone reacts well with a pill form of mag and needs to get it from food. Which means, the daily intake is more work to ensure enough is getting into the body. Be sure to find what works best for you and your life style.
