Let’s talk about Magnesium.
Magnesium is an electrolyte which helps with the health of your heart and brain, as well as muscle and nerve function. It can help ease muscle pain and also assist with sleep.
Magnesium is important:
• For muscles and nerves to work properly
• To keep blood sugar and blood pressure at the right level
• To make proteins, bone and your DNA.
Magnesium is found in green leafy vegetables, brown rice, bread, meat, fish, nuts and some dairy products. People with coeliac disease or those who choose to follow a gluten-free diet may consider supplementing magnesium, as grains are a rich source of this essential mineral.
The best way to meet the recommended amount of vitamins and minerals including magnesium, is to eat a varied diet that’s rich in whole foods. If you’re not sure or you suspect you may have a deficiency, speak with your GP or friendly Capital Chemist Dapto pharmacist.
