Nutrition Comes From Natural Sources
Great things come from our deep blue seas. Magnesium, for example, is derived from ocean supplies of minerals. Little did we know that dipping our toes in the water was not just refreshing, it was nourishing as well.
Most of us dont live near the beach though, and cannot take the time out of our busy schedule for that natural foot bath, but we can pull out a bottle of Transderma magnesium oil after the shower and reap the benefits of the elements contained in the ocean.
We get all of our nutrients, vitamins and minerals, from our earth, mostly through our foods. Its been shown though that our diets are poor, and the foods we eat have fewer nutrients than they did 50 years ago. Many of us do not get the magnesium we need in our diet.
Studies have been conducted by many medical facilities into magnesium levels and many health issues. It turns out that magnesium deficiency is more commonplace than we would have thought. According to the National Institute we store 50 percent of our magnesium in our bones. Only about 1 percent is in our blood, and apparently our system works very hard to maintain that level.
So then what can we do, individually, to address this magnesium deficiency? Well, if you have issues with your digestion from too many antibiotics as a child, or too acidic a diet, you may have trouble assimilating the nutrients in your food. There is another means of introducing more magnesium in your diet, and that is through your skin. Not a shot, no we will leave that to the doctors. Magnesium can be absorbed through gel, oil, or a bath.
Magnesium deficiency has been associated with depression, mental fatigue, chronic tiredness, and even pain relief or release. Some say that they feel calmer and sleep better after a magnesium bath or by using the magnesium oil after their bath.
There are over 300 biochemical actions in our body that need magnesium. That sounds pretty darn important to me. According to this same medical authority there is concern about continued sub-levels of magnesium in a large part of our population. Perhaps we should go back to basics, such as basic nutrition through the elements of life.
