Deep dives
The Magnesium Stress Vicious Cycle
Stress can lead to a depletion of magnesium from cells, creating a cycle where increased stress results in lower magnesium levels, further decreasing resilience to stress. This cycle can occur due to various stressors such as emotional, financial, or caregiving pressures. When magnesium levels drop, individuals may find it harder to cope with stress, which can in turn lead to further magnesium depletion. Consequently, enhancing magnesium intake during periods of moderate to high stress is crucial for maintaining overall well-being.
