ARE YOU BURNING THROUGH ALL YOUR MAGNESIUM?
You all know how much I love this mineral because of how vital it is!
The “magnesium burn rate” is a term in which we use to try and figure out how much an individual is stressed and their magnesium requirements. Magnesium, yes, essential for over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, is particularly important for when the body is under any type of strain, hence we “burn” through it.

How is this a even a thing? Well, if we were to compare our lives to thousands of years ago to today, we would be considered RIDICULOUSLY stressed. How?
1. We are constantly exposed to blue light
2. We are constantly exposed to EMFs
3. We are all most likely eating food that has lost most of its mineral content
4. We are living in a world that EXPECTS things from us. No more walking around and just getting some water by a lake, eating this morning’s hunt and just chillin’ in the sun. We have work, school, relationships, money problems, global warming, health issues, and most likely crying over your last Netflix sitcom.

It is assumed that almost everyone is magnesium deficient today which present themselves through many different symptoms like:
Insomnia
Muscle cramps
Hormonal problems
Depression/anxiety
Fatigue
Osteoporosis
Vitamin d deficiency
High cholesterol
and more!
For a deeper explanation on as to why magnesium is so important, check out this post here and this one on all the different types of magnesium. I also have this one on different interactions between nutrients and this one on magnesium and hormones.
Keep in mind the LONGER we are stressed the more DEPLETED we get, because once we start using up all of our magnesium, it will affect other nutrients as well. (Check out this post on how chronic stress can affect you)
