I\u2019ve taken a lot of supplements over the years, especially during my struggles with hypothyroidism, leaky gut syndrome, and adrenal fatigue.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some worked great while others left me wondering if they did anything at all. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supplements can be a useful thing to incorporate into any diet, but deciding on which ones you need can be the toughest part of it all. The other day, I got a DM on my Instagram<\/a> asking me which supplements were the best to incorporate into one’s daily routine. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the answer will vary based on every person\u2019s individual needs, there are some that <\/span>most people need<\/span><\/a>, almost universally. The one that comes to mind most often, and that a lot of people are deficient in, is magnesium. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The health benefits of Magnesium are a lot, but before we start talking about how this mineral can make a huge difference in your life, we need to first look at why magnesium is so important.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT MAKES MAGNESIUM SO IMPORTANT TO YOUR HEALTH?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever felt sluggish and tired no matter how much coffee you drink or how balanced you think your diet is? Well, that could be due to an imbalance in magnesium in your system. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believe it or not, magnesium is used in over <\/span>300 different processes<\/span><\/a> in your body. It helps keep your brain firing on all cylinders, maintains a healthy heartbeat, and keeps your immune system supercharged and ready to fight against germs and viruses. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without it, or when you have low levels of magnesium in your body, those processes won\u2019t happen as efficiently as they should. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many people, this leads to feelings of brain fog and sluggishness at best and irregular heartbeats, insulin resistance, and heart disease at worst. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you have enough magnesium in your system, your body functions properly (assuming that you don’t have any other nutrient deficiencies). If you\u2019re deficient, you can always increase the amount of magnesium you get each day, restoring your body to its proper balance.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

HEALTH BENEFITS<\/b> OF MAGNESIUM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Though magnesium helps with cellular processes, there are other more noticeable health benefits you can expect when you have enough in your system.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
