Magnesium

Magnesium plays an important role in the elimination of toxins. While we are confronted every day with numerous external pollutants and a more or less pronounced state of stress, during these external or internal attacks, magnesium will detoxify the body by stimulating the elimination function of the liver, by increasing bile secretion and by facilitating its elimination.

In addition to its role in the elimination of toxins, magnesium acts against minor sleep disorders and associated fatigue, helps regulate blood pressure and promotes body relaxation, thus helping to combat stress. It also promotes concentration, maintains nervous and psychological balance and reduces irritability resulting from a lack of sleep.

The daily intake of magnesium is estimated at 300 mg for women and 400 mg for men. The foods richest in magnesium are chocolate, pulses (lentils, beans, peas) and wholegrain cereals. Other major providers are oleaginous fruits (almonds and walnuts), as well as green vegetables, although we should not forget certain natural mineral waters that are richer in magnesium.
