Magnesium is the biggest underdog in the dietary world... When you’re low in magnesium, A LOT CAN GO WRING!

You can have muscle cramps. You can get headaches, migraines especially have been tied to low magnesium. But also tension headaches occur when the muscles get tight in the back of the neck because of muscle cramping and tightness.

These are symptoms of low magnesium. You get those muscles tight in the back of your neck, it’s going to refer to your head and give you a headache. Low magnesium has also been tied to constipation because it influences the way normal gut function works, so constipation is really common. You may have cardiovascular issues like high blood pressure, hypertension. When your blood pressure is going up, it’s oftentimes a sign that you’re low on magnesium.

Also have you had the experience where it feels like your heart is kind of skipping beats, or racing and slowing down and then you feel kind of a big heartbeat? That’s called heart palpitations, or cardiac arrhythmia, where the rhythm of the heart is a little bit off. You’re not getting normal cardiac rhythm. Other causes can be associated with that as well, but magnesium is something that needs to be ruled out because it’s so easy to fix if we find that it’s actually the issue.

...And let's not forget SLEEP. Magnesium is a must for restful sleep.
