I'm gonna talk about 8 reasons why magnesium can help you sleep like a baby .
Okay ?
Now , magnesium is a very , very important mineral .
It's involved in so many different biochemical reactions over 300 enzymes .
That's 300 separate functions .
And one of the big effects that magnesium has is to help someone sleep , but through 8 different ways , okay , involving magnesium .
Number 1 , magnesium will increase serotonin , which then increases melatonin which is the sleep hormone .
The more melatonin you have , the better you sleep .
Also , serotonin is very beneficial for your mood and just to keep stress at a a very low level .
Okay .
Number 2 .
Increases something called GABA .
GABA is a neurotransmitter .
It's a relaxing neurotransmitter .
It will help you relax especially if you're trying to go to sleep .
Number 3 , it will help you decrease adrenaline .
Adrenaline is part of the flight or flight mechanism .
It gives you a sympathetic nervous system response and basically when adrenaline goes up , you're not gonna sleep because you're in that adrenal , stress mode and , good luck with sleeping .
It's not gonna happen .
Thank goodness , magnesium can help decrease adrenaline .
Number 4 , magnesium is really really , key in helping your muscles relax .
Okay ?
Not just your skeletal muscles but the muscles in your digestive system .
So I mean sometimes you'll get like a stomach pain after you eat or a spasm .
Magnesium can help that .
And let's say you have a cramp in your calf or your foot or your leg , magnesium is very beneficial for that .
Number 5 , magnesium can help decrease inflammation .
It decreases c reactive protein .
So it's going to reduce pain and inflammation .
Try to sleep when you have pain or inflammation .
It's very difficult .
Number 6 .
It can decrease restless leg syndrome .
I used to have that really bad when I was in my twenties .
And I would literally have to get out of bed and go for a jog in the middle of the night to get this energy out .
I had so much trapped up energy in my legs .
Alright .
Number 7 , less heart problems .
So with magnesium , you'll have more oxygen to the heart , less angina .
Try to sleep if you have angina .
It's very difficult .
Also , there's a big connection between magnesium and arrhythmias .
And less problem you have with an abnormal rhythm of the heart , the better you're gonna sleep .
And number 8 , it can actually cause less PMS cramping .
Think about during a menstrual cramp .
You have a it's actually a cramp of the muscles in the uterus .
So magnesium can greatly reduce cramping .
And if you're having less cramping , especially at night , you're gonna sleep a lot better .
