Do you struggle to get a restful night's sleep? At Fuss Free Nutrition we love using simple natural remedies to support our sleep. Magnesium is one mineral we often reach for when we need to unwind.
Magnesium plays a role in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps relax muscles, supports the nervous system and contributes to the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep.
We find that taking magnesium in the evening helps us drift off more easily and enjoy deeper sleep. It can also reduce muscle cramps and promote calmness after a busy day.
Magnesium is beneficial for anyone who experiences restless legs, stress or difficulty sleeping. It is also helpful for athletes, as it supports muscle recovery, and for people who are often on the go.
You can increase your magnesium intake through foods and supplements. Here are some easy ideas:
• Enjoy a warm drink with magnesium powder mixed into herbal tea or hot chocolate.
• Add leafy greens, nuts and seeds such as pumpkin seeds and almonds to your meals.
• Soak in a bath with magnesium flakes to relax your muscles before bedtime.
The team at Fuss Free Nutrition loves magnesium for its gentle yet effective support. We carry a range of magnesium products to suit your needs. Try adding this mineral to your bedtime routine and notice the difference in your sleep.
