Increasing Your Magnesium Levels

With today's diet, it's easy to overlook the fact that you might be deficient in magnesium. Magnesium is needed for strong teeth, muscles, joints, and bones. It's also very helpful for reducing stress and improving your sleeping patterns. Because of today's fast-paced lifestyle, there are several reasons why many of us are lacking the magnesium our bodies require, and things that deplete magnesium levels in our body. An increase in the consumption of sugar, caffeine, and alcohol, inadequate sleep, use of pesticides in produce, filtration systems in water supplies, and too the fact that people are under too much pressure, causing anxiety, are all responsible for depleting the body's much needed magnesium.

For health reasons, you should take the initiative to increase the levels of magnesium in your body. If you live near the sea, you can do this by swimming in the ocean every day. The ocean is rich in magnesium. However, if you are too far from the ocean, you can simply apply magnesium oil to your skin, the easiest method of increasing your levels of magnesium. If you do this every day, you will eventually reduce stress in your life and attain better sleep patterns.

Do You Have Enough Magnesium?

Statistics show that about 90 percent of Americans these days are magnesium deficient, even those who eat a healthy diet. The reason behind this is that the soil that our food grows in, is itself, lacking in magnesium, making it a challenge to get the minerals through the food we eat.

The following are signs and symptoms of magnesium deficiency:

Headaches.
Fatigue.
Difficulty sleeping.
Hormonal imbalance.
Premenstrual syndrome.
Anxiety.
Low energy levels.

If you're thinking of taking oral magnesium supplement, think again. Magnesium is not optimally absorbed when ingested. The ideal delivery to get magnesium into your system is absorption or transdermal (medicines being absorbed through the skin). You don't even need a prescription from your doctor to acquire this form of magnesium supplement. Instead of being injected with a magnesium supplement, you only need to apply it to your skin in the form of oil. It is a lot more convenient, non-invasive, more effective, and much safer.
