0Mg 😮 Many times over the past few years inside of our programme
I’ve had questions around leg cramps, migraines, headaches, and poor sleep…
And the more I looked into this, the more I keep seeing MAGNESIUM come up in the science..
But not only in the science, a few of the women on our Kickstart Programme have even asked me about it, too..
Especially recently. I guess you’re seeing lots of adverts for it?
So, I often revisit look into a bit more and am again quite surprised:
1) Magnesium is the 2nd most common nutrient deficiency in first world countries (only behind vitamin D)
2) 1 in 7 of us deficient
3) A magnesium deficiency is associated with increased risk of DIABETES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, POOR SLEEP, and DEPRESSION…RESTLESS LEG, CRAMPS, and MIGRAINES
So, here’s a few ways you can get this mineral in your diet:
1) Greens – e.g. spinach, kale, chard,
2) Seeds and nuts – yep, that includes PUMPKIN seeds…but it’s not just good for Magnesium and carving, check out my Pumpkin workout below…
3) Beans – baked beans, pinto beans, kidney beans (great source of protein and fibre, too)
4) Fruits – Bananas and avocados 🙂
5) Chocolate – Dark chocolate, that is… 😉
If you do want to supplement?
Maybe go for Magnesium Citrate or Malate (rather than oxide) as seems more absorbable
As with anything it depends on you and your diet too, that’s where most health and fitness / diet programmes go wrong.
They don’t consider your needs.
It’s just cookie cutter…
After all:
“tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn” – Benjamin Franklin
^^^Who’d have thought that would have so much relevance to getting in shape and keeping the results for good…(something we do inside our 28 Day Summer Kickstart. Message me with “summer” and I’ll get you the details).
