You Are Probably Magnesium Deficient - 10 Signs!

Do you experience these often?

Exhaustion  -- Regular Migraines -- Bruise Easily -- Dizziness -- Poor Memory -- Restless Legs

Magnesium deficiency could be part of the reason. 6 months ago, I noticed how extremely tired I was all the time. I even changed my sleep cycle to get 2 more hours of sleep and it did not help at all. I started researching possible causes and after much digging, it turned out may have had a magnesium deficiency. I was surprised and I wasn't really sure either. I eat balanced meals, limit sugar, fortify my diet with supplements and take care of myself the best I can. I decided to try supplementing magnesium and it made a HUGE difference in my overall health.

Magnesium is a mineral that is found in our body and we need correct levels for energy production, to metabolize carbs, fats and proteins, help with tissue formation and maintain proper muscle function.

It turns out, after more research, I found out that less than 30% of the population gets enough magnesium. ​

I do love my Starbucks
