Episode Highlights

Your Body Demands Magnesium 

 Low Magnesium levels can affect brain power, our Immune system, Endocrine system,  Metabolism, Nervous system, Digestive system, Respiratory System, Cardiovascular system, and many other aspects of your bodily function.  Magnesium among other necessary minerals is found in some of the food we eat. However, over the years this has depleted as a result of practices such as mono farming and agricultural businesses that focus on mass-producing rather than quality production. 

Magnesium Can Affect the Body’s Nervous System 

The body's control system is the Autonomic nervous system. This system has two arms which are the Sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. Both of these systems must operate synchronized to avoid sympathetic stress lock. This kind of lock-in can result in the inability to digest and heal properly. However, with the correct levels of Magnesium, this can be avoided or corrected. Magnesium affects your entire human operating network. Therefore, lack of this mineral can affect things such as your brain function and result in brain fog and anxiety as well as it may affect your instinct and your passions.

Magnesium a Day Keeps the Doctor Away  

A lack of Magnesium has a creeping effect on one's body and it can trigger a series of illnesses that can turn into long term underlying issues.The body operates with three energies; Chi, Jing, and Shen. Our Chi Energy has to do with the energy we put into our body via food.   People are often advised to eat as organic as possible and maintain a healthy diet to avoid the burnout that comes as a result of bad Chi. Jing Energy is recognized as the body's natural battery. The energy we are born with contributes to length and quality of life.  Jing energy is very sensitive and is sometimes abused because people fail to find the balance between the Chi and the Jing. A lack of rest and poor eating habits force our bodies to tap into more of our Jing than we should have, which results in us taking years off our life without even realizing it. Our Shen Energy is our character and how we treat others. Our Chi and Jing affect our Shen so it is important to find a balance and live better. All three of these energies can be affected by having the right amount of Magnesium or the lack thereof, Therefore it is important to have Magnesium in some way shape or form to increase your quality of life.  It won't be an overnight process but we are reminded that micro-adjustments can yield macro results.
