Are You Getting Enough Magnesium With Your Vitamin D?
- Glen Pearson
Make sure your body can make sure of the vitamin D that you produce or supplement.
Magnesium
Word is finally getting out about just how important sunlight and vitamin D are for your health.
With 42% of Americans – and over 80% of black Americans – deficient in the critical nutrient, it’s important to talk to your doctor about the issue, and make sure you’re getting enough sunlight or supplementation. But something that’s been overlooked by many is the role of Magnesium in metabolism of vitamin D.
Without consuming enough magnesium, vitamin D – either from natural sources like sunlight or from vitamin D supplements – will remain stored in the body, and the person can therefore remain deficient.
Fortunately magnesium is, unlike vitamin D, readily accessible in foods commonly found at the grocery store, and doctors urge their vitamin D deficient patients to add a wide variety of foods to their diet that are plentiful in the nutrient.
Great Sources of Magnesium
- Spinach
- Egg Yolk
- Almonds
- Broccoli
So another reminder that our health is something that needs to be tackled on all fronts at all times, and even more incentive for Americans to eat their veggies.
The Secret Ingredient
The Power Nap
The answer is the good old power nap. A secret of college students and interns the world over, the power nap is guaranteed to not only wash away the tiredness, but to do so without the oft resultant post-nap grogginess so many of us tend to suffer.
For a truly effective power nap you pregame the caffeine, downing an espresso or coffee immediately before laying down to your nap. The coffee takes a while to kick in, and when you rise, you’re ready to go almost immediately.
