Incorporating Magnesium into our Bodies!

7:46 AM Posted In , , , Edit This 0 Comments »





Our Bodies are starving for magnesium, and an easy way of incorporating it into our bodies is by simply soaking in a relaxing bath with magnesium-rich Epsom salt. Magnesium is a very important element.

Magnesium is the second-most abundant element in human cells. It is an important positively charged ion in the body.
Magnesium helps the body regulate over 325 enzymes and plays an important role in organizing many bodily functions.
Function such as muscle control, electrical impulses, energy production and eliminating harmful toxins out of our bodies.



Science states that most of us are magnesium deficient. That would account for the high rates of heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, arthritis and joint pain, digestive maladies, stress-related illnesses, chronic fatigue and a number of other ailments.

Our magnesium levels have dropped by half in the last century due to changes in agriculture and diet. Industrial farming has depleted magnesium from soil and the typical Standard American diet (SAD) contains much less magnesium than ever before!. The truth is the Standard American diet (SAD) with its fat, sugar, salt and protein actually works to speed up the depletion of magnesium from our bodies.

Many think that by taking calcium supplements we are fulfilling that calcium/magnesium quota. But studies show that taking a calcium supplement without enough magnesium can increase the shortage of both nutrients.
Many have five times as much calcium as magnesium in our bodies, although the proper ratio for optimum absorption of both minerals is two to one.

Magnesium is not easily absorbed through the digestive tract. It is affected by certain foods or drugs, some medical conditions, and the chemistry of a person’s stomach acid can attribute to inefficient magnesium absorption.

So what is the best way to get magnesium into our bodies? Believe it or not Epsom Salts. (Hydrated Magnesium Sulfate) It is very rich in both magnesium and sulfate.
Scientific studies reveal that soaking in Epsom Salt is the best way for our bodies to absorb magnesium and to raise our magnesium levels!



Sulfate plays an important role in the formation of brain tissues, joint proteins
and the proteins that line the wall of your digestive tract.
Sulfate stimulate the pancreas to generate digestive enzymes and are thought to help detoxify the body of medicines and environmental contaminants

Lightening the Load!

2:39 PM Edit This 0 Comments »

The last week or two I've decided to unload myself of things I've been saving.
Saving for what? I don't know, a rainy day?
The clutter is driving me nuts!

It's amazing how much lighter you feel as you start to unload the old junk!
I've taken a truckload of clothes shoes books and other stuff down to a woman's shelter. It felt good to give to woman who really could use these items as they struggle to get back on their feet and pull their lives back together! I think it would be a nice project to gather items once a year (or more)and donate them to the woman's shelter. Something I can do with my friends that will benefit others. It always feels good when we give to others.



I am even on my way out the door to reorganize my pond area. It's the place I meditate. The sound of the falling water is so relaxing to me. It's so peaceful and it's my space! When I leave the pond area, I feel refreshed and untangled!
Everyone should think of a "space" to get away. It can even be right around your family.
You just need a place to rejuvenate yourself! Add some meditation and soft peaceful music and your doing your self a healthy favor.

Another thing I've incorporated into my life is a massage table. I purchased a massage table and I share massage with my husband. It doesn't have to be the best but it is very relaxing! Add a bit of Essential oils to that massage and it takes you away.

OK I'm going back to my clean up! It's great starting my mornings with my green smoothie, exercise and no clutter! I feel free
