🚨 IMPORTANT INFO 🚨

For a while now we wanted to share with you some information about a very important mineral for our body..
MAGNESIUM 😉

This particular mineral is crucial for many functions in our body & contributes to proper brain function, bone health and heart/muscle activity!

Which leads us to this:
💪Magnesium is extremely important for athletes and people who train regularly
💪It controls the heart rhythm, permits the muscles to contract and relax, lowers blood pressure & is essential in producing ATP

Intake:
☀️The daily recommendation for magnesium intake is 400 mg for male and 310 mg for female (19-30 years old)
☀️Although if you are highly active, is recommended to take up to 800 mg of magnesium daily 👌🏼

Bottom line:
🫀As long as you have a plentiful supply of magnesium before and after your training/exercise, you help your body and muscles to adapt to the training stimulus you put on it 🤸‍♀️

So here are some great resources of magnesium intake, have a look 👀
