Benefits of Magnesium

Magnesium has several health benefits. Your chiropractor may recommend magnesium to relax your muscles surrounding your spine, by assisting blood vessels to open and stimulate blood flow. Magnesium may also help your muscles and nerves relax by reducing the effects of calcium. Many that experience cramps in various muscles of the body, are usually lacking magnesium.

Other health benefits of magnesium may include: Supporting healthy blood sugar levels, promoting heart health, improve sleep, boost anti-inflammatory benefits, reduce frequency of migraines, decrease the effects of premenstrual syndrome, assist bone health.

Foods rich in magnesium include: Dark chocolate, legumes, nuts, seeds, tofu, bananas, leafy greens and avocados.

If you struggle to fit such food in your diet, magnesium supplements are available in powder, tablet or chewable forms depending on what works best for you.
