DO YOU SUPPLEMENT MAGNESIUM AND ZINC? IF NOT, WHY NOT?
Magnesium and Zinc are two of the most common deficiencies I see in clients today. These are both vital nutrients involved in hundreds of functions in the body. Supplementation of Magnesium and Zinc is a simple, effective and cheap ways of improving your general health.
MAGNESIUM
This is one of the most IMPORTANT nutrients essential for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, testosterone production, insulin sensitivity, calcium absorption, and regulation of the sympathetic nervous system.
It will help you sleep better and deeper, be less fatigued after workouts, make your brain work better, get rid of stress, help you lose abdominal fat and have a leaner body!
My favorite way to use with clients is to take a topical magnesium and combine that with an oral form, it restores magnesium levels much quicker.
ZINC
Zinc is also very important because it is found in EVERY tissue in the body and is directly involved in cell division. It is a powerful antioxidant, helping to prevent cancer, elevating mood and depression but zinc also is directly involved in proper endocrine function and the maintenance of ideal hormone levels.
Zinc deficiency makes both men and women infertile and causes low libido.
The simplest way to test for zinc is a taste test that works because we know that taste and smell are dependent on there being adequate zinc in the body.
To do this test, get zinc sulfate and put about 1-2 teaspoons in a cup and sip it, holding it in the mouth. If it tastes just like water, you are very zinc deficient. If you taste something slightly metallic, you are moderately zinc deficient. If it tastes disgusting—strongly metallic and unpleasant—your levels are probably adequate.
This test is subject to individual taste perception and it is not 100 percent valid, but it is a good place to start.
