A Magnesium Rich Diet With Watercress

Magnesium is a nutrient that allows our bodies to produce energy productively. It regulates nerve function, blood sugar levels, and muscular growth. Magnesium is also responsible for creating protein, DNA, and components of our skeletal system. With the various amounts of biochemical reactions magnesium aids in, it is vital to ensure your magnesium levels are where they need to be.

Your body can demonstrate various tells that show you’re not getting enough magnesium. Some signs to look for include constant muscle cramps, high blood pressure, fatigue, decreased mental health, and trouble sleeping.

You can improve in many areas of your life by ensuring you get the magnesium your body requires. One way you could see a positive difference is in exercise performance. Magnesium helps remove lactate, a substance produced as the body turns food into energy during a workout. Lactate contributes to exhaustion and fatigue, and with the help of magnesium, you can reach new heights within your activity of choice.

Regulating your magnesium levels can also aid in brain function and mood. Low levels have been associated with an increased risk of mental health issues. Many studies have proven that elevating magnesium levels can aid in decreasing symptoms of depression and anxiety.

An important factor in aging and chronic disease is inflammation. Magnesium has been shown to reduce inflammatory indicators, such as CRP and interleukin-6.

B&W watercress is an excellent source of magnesium. Consuming nutrients through your diet is optimal, but in addition to that, B&W’s sustainable farming practices ensure that the soil is optimal for nutrient absorption in the crop cycle.
