Craving chocolate? Well… you could quite possibly be lacking magnesium. This isn’t something to brush off and take lightly. Magnesium is an important mineral and we should all watch our intake to see if were are getting just the right amount.
Magnesium deficiency symptoms may include:
- Agitation and anxiety
- Restless leg syndrome
- Sleeping disorders
- Nausea and vomiting
- Abnormal heart rhythms
- Low blood pressure
- Hyperventilation
- Poor nail growth
All the more reason to keep on top of your magnesium intake. Here is a smoothie to help.
