Can Magnesium Help you feel heroic?


A recent article posted by the Sleep Foundation at sleepfoundation.org offers some insight into how Magnesium can help you get the rest that you need to feel amazing.



Magnesium is a mineral that is essential to human health. You likely already know that along with Vitamin D and Calcium, Magnesium helps you have strong bones.


Did you know that Magnesium is important for normal muscle function, including muscle relaxation? In fact, the ability for your muscle to relax is just as important as it is for them to contract. You can't have muscles contract if they aren't relaxed first.


Relaxation of muscles is actually really important. Relaxation of muscles facilitates relaxation of the body and the only way you're going to get restful sleep is if your body can relax.


Your body may be able to eventually fall asleep even if your muscles aren't fully relaxed, but the quality of the sleep will be diminished.


Optimal muscle relaxation contributes to deepest levels of sleep and restoration which leads to the best feelings of being rested and rejuvenated in the morning.


Do you need Magnesium to the Rescue?

  1. Is your sleep optimal?

  2. Are you deficient in Magnesium?

As noted in the Sleep Foundation article referenced above, studies show that nearly half of the population is not getting enough Magnesium from their diet. This number may be worse during the holidays. Another function of Magnesium is that it's involved in the metabolism of sugar. While there isn't a research paper to prove this, it's likely that this increased sugar consumption may lead to even worse levels of Magnesium in the blood this time of year. This worsened Magnesium deficiency combined with the increased stress of the holidays is a recipe for terrible sleep and the corresponding sickness and bad moods.


If you've never tried Magnesium to the Rescue, now is the time. You've got nothing to lose, except sleepless nights!
