Magnesium-Calcium Balance
Did you know that if certain nutrients are out of whack , it can add to the stress we feel ? Most people don ’ t get the amounts of magnesium they require and some forms of magnesium are simply not absorbed well in the body .
This can lead to a magnesium-calcium imbalance leaving the body perpetually stressed . Calcium is necessary to excite nerves and muscle contraction ; magnesium is required for calming nerves and relaxing muscles . †
Generally , most people get more calcium than magnesium in their diets , but it takes adequate magnesium levels to push calcium out of cells , enabling the body to truly relax and restore . † In short , magnesium is a significant player in helping us de-stress so we can sleep better . †
So , if you ’ re feeling stressed out or unable to sleep well , you should consider a whole food magnesium supplement such as Relax & Restore at bedtime to help you de-stress and get a good night ’ s sleep . †
