Just when you think you know it all, well, you might not. We all understand that vitamins and minerals are essential for good health. While they all seem important, there appears to be, in my opinion, a hierarchy among them. Yes, they all work in synergy, which is a given. But when you take a closer look at the mineral magnesium, you might start to worry if you don’t have enough of it.

Magnesium is involved in virtually every major biochemical process within the cells and is a cofactor in over 300 enzyme systems. Here’s a closer look at its functions:

• DNA and RNA stability

• Glucose regulation

• Bone development

• Energy storage and transfer

• Metabolism

• Neuromuscular function

• Lipid and protein metabolism

• Blood pressure regulation

When your magnesium levels are within normal range, you will enjoy these benefits:

• Lower risk of heart disease

• Improved blood pressure

• Reduced symptoms of depression

• Less migraine attacks

• Better sleep

• Better blood sugar levels

Note: Consult your doctor if you are on any kind of medication, such as antibiotics or maintenance meds. Magnesium may interfere with their absorption.

Health regimen 

Have a magnesium foot soak. It is a safe and effective way to deliver magnesium into the body.

Get a pan of very warm water and add magnesium to it. Pro-Mag is one of the best options on the market today.

For headaches and physical exhaustion, mix two tablespoons of the paste into the water. Soak your feet for 30 minutes. Within 20 minutes, you will feel a soothing warmth all over your body, which is a sign that the magnesium has been absorbed. ProMag products are distributed by Pro Active Marketing. For a free consultation, contact: 09456726202 or 8461-3237.

Beauty Ritual: For anti-stress relaxation tips, place two round slices of chilled cucumber over your closed eyes. This will reduce puffiness under your eyes and help you relax.

Affirmation: “I am cooler than cool.”

Love and light!
