Think you’re getting enough magnesium from food alone? You’re probably not, and it’s not really your fault. 🌙
Magnesium deficiency isn’t usually about one bad habit. It’s usually a combination of small, everyday things stacking up. Here are 3 reasons it happens to almost everyone:
💜 Soil depletion - decades of intensive farming has stripped a lot of magnesium out of the soil itself. Even a “healthy” diet full of vegetables doesn’t guarantee the magnesium content it would have had 50 years ago.
💜 Processed food - refining and processing food removes a huge amount of naturally occurring magnesium. The more processed your diet, the bigger the gap between what you’re eating and what you’re actually absorbing.
💜 Stress, caffeine & exercise - your body burns through magnesium faster under stress, and caffeine and alcohol both increase how much you lose. Intense exercise does the same. The more demanding your lifestyle, the more you need to top up.
None of these are things you’re doing “wrong”, they’re just how modern life works. Which is exactly why so many people are running lower than they think.
