It’s no secret that age or aging for that matter, is being redefined. Many of us, me included, want to continue to function, exercise, perform at an optimal level for as long as we possibly can. As the 2024 Holidays passed and I entered my 5th decade of life, I remember how old my grandparents seemed at 50 compared to how I feel today. While this term may not be simply my own, the Longevity Movement or better stated, Optimal Longevity Movement is here to stay!
One Hallmark of the movement for me has always been nutritional supplementation and I can’t think of a better place to start given that is Heart Month than Magnesium. Often overlooked and always underutilized, Magnesium has approximately 300 different jobs in our bodies. From promoting normal heart rhythm and blood pressure to relaxing nerves & muscles, to energizing our often fatigued mitochondria & decreasing inflammation, it’s not short on tasks & effectiveness when supplemented in capsule or powder form. Form is also an important consideration as the effects of Magnesium Citrate will be very different from the effects of forms that cross into our brains like Glycinate or Threonate. As always it is best to find a knowledgeable healthcare professional when selecting the best Magnesium suited to your needs. Until we meet again to discuss Power Trio part 2, Be well, healthy & happy!
