Stress causes the brain to react, and that process consumes a lot of magnesium \u2013 the more magnesium you give to your body, the more \u201cin control\u201d you feel.<\/p> <h2> <span>A GREAT FATIGUE CURE<\/span> <\/h2> <p>Magnesium is a must for the conversion and production of energy from sugars and fats. Magnesium also allows your muscles to work properly and effectively \u2013 without it, muscles are unable to relax properly and cramps can occur. If your body lacks magnesium - a particularly common problem in athletes - your performance levels drop.<\/p> <h2> <span>A DETOX BOOSTER<\/span> <\/h2> <p>By activating enzymes in the intestinal tract, kidney and bowels, magnesium helps with the elimination of toxins. The ideal way to use magnesium as a detox booster is to purchase magnesium chloride bags (from the pharmacy) and have a magnesium bath. You can also invest in some magnesium oil for massages. As a bonus, magnesium can rebalance the digestive system. It will lessen the occurrence of cramps and allow us to sleep better at night.<\/p> <h2> <span>A POWERFUL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY<\/span> <\/h2> <p>Low magnesium consumption increases the risk of rising C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, which increases the risk of associated metabolic diseases (diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome). Conversely, supplementing your diet with magnesium lowers CRP. A dose of 300 to 600mg per day is recommended by experts.<\/p> <h2> <span>HELPS KEEP YOUR DIET ON TRACK<\/span> <\/h2> <p>By reducing the effects of stress, fatigue and physical concerns, you will be able to function at peak condition and avoid snacking and emotional meltdowns. You\u2019ll be able to stay on track!<\/p> <h2> <span>HOW TO TAKE MAGNESIUM, AND HOW?<\/span> <\/h2> <p>Make sure to consume foods that are rich in magnesium, such as cocoa and dark chocolate, walnuts, almonds, sesame, sunflower seeds, dried coconut, cow's milk, and fortified rice and breads. For those interested in increasing their magnesium intake, it is possible to purchase magnesium supplements from pharmacies.<\/p> <p><em>Isabelle Delaleu<\/em><\/p> <h2> <span>Read more:<\/span>
