Magnesium for Mummas
Magnesium is depleted in times of stress, so its no wonder why so many new mummas are depleted of this precious mineral!
You have no sleep, a crying babe, new routine, or no routine, let’s face it, it’s a new kind of stress your body is adjusting to and the first mineral to go is magnesium.
Magnesium is responsible for over 300 enzymatic processes in your body! Isn’t that insane!
With a deep affinity to the nervous system its best effects are on sleep, resilience to stress, reduction in anxiety and energy…
Are these words resonating with you yet! Yes mummas you need your magnesium!
Food is a great way to increase your magnesium as seen in our latest post on Instagram we promised you a list of magnesium rich foods!
Did you know refined foods and stress deplete our precious Magnesium?
Magnesium is essential for providing our bodies when we are under rapid changes constantly including of the body, mind and emotions
Healing foods rich in magnesium calm the nervous system, leave the body and mind in harmony, aid in proper sleep, down our irritability and help with depression and PMS to name a few
