That Magnesium Really Gets Under My Skin

Many good things come from our oceans. Magnesium salts are derived from the ocean, a powerful source of many nutrients. You know how good it feels to walk along the beach, feeling the waves as they glide across your feet. Hey, dont tell the kids, that fun time playing in the waves is actually nutritious!

Unfortunately we cannot always jump in the car to get that time in the waves, soaking up the minerals from the sea. We can take time from our busy schedule to have a natural foot bath with mineral rich Transderma magnesium crystals. Why Transderma? Quality and reasonable pricing.

We get all of our nutrients, vitamins and minerals, from our earth, mostly through our foods. Its been shown though that our diets are poor, and the foods we eat have fewer nutrients than they did 50 years ago. Many of us do not get the magnesium we need in our diet.

Let us delve into the world of magnesium in the body. Your body definitely needs magnesium to function. There is a storehouse of magnesium contained in your bones, right alongside that calcium that we hear so much about. About 50 percent of our supply of magnesium is stored in our bones. Blood is a different matter, with only about 1 percent of our magnesium maintained in the blood.

If we are deficient, and challenged in our diets to get the nutrients we need, what can we do? Magnesium can actually be absorbed through your skin, or transdermally. You can take a transdermal magnesium bath, using a form of magnesium crystals that is processed for easy absorption, or use a gel or oil.

When our magnesium levels are too low in the body, especially over a duration of time, the effects can show up in many ways: depression, tiredness, chronic pain or fatigue, joint pain, and many more signs of deficiency. A great non-invasive way to counterbalance is to use a magnesium bath. You may sleep better, feel more relaxed, think more clearly.

When we look at the big picture we will find that magnesium is a vital mineral used in over 300 of the biochemical processes that take place every day in our body. This leads me to wonder where I should focus in my own basic health. Minerals are one of the basic building blocks of life.
