• Muscle, weakness, fatigue, twitching and cramps
• Bones to become Brittle

I did a bit of digging and to get some facts and tips to make sure we’re getting enough.

So, what is magnesium? 

The short answer is that Magnesium, a mineral that is present in all living things. It’s in the earth, in the sea, in plants, animals and (of course us!) Humans.

The longer answer is:

• Prevents Migraines
• It has exercise benefits
• Improves PMS syndrome
• Benefits us against Type 2 Diabetes
• Fights Depression
• Helps with sleep
• Can lower blood pressure
• Anti-inflammatory benefits
• Reduces insulin resistance
• And, it’s available in so many everyday foods and supplements

What are good paleo sources of Magnesium?

• Almonds
