The One Mineral You Need for Summer Travel

Why You Should Always Take Magnesium While Traveling
Magnesium is known as nature's "relaxation mineral1," but it also plays a big role in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body2. It helps everything from the functioning of our nervous system to the strengthing of our bones3. Magnesium has been shown to help ease menstrual cramps4, tame headaches, and promote regular digestion. This is especially important while traveling because you're more vulnerable to minor aches, pains, and dysfunctions. Stress, the standard American diet, alcohol, caffeine, and processed foods are thought to deplete the body of magnesium. This can cause a host of undesirable symptoms. Magnesium can also help with stress, anxiety, insomnia, chronic fatigue (due to jet lag), thyroid problems, blood sugar imbalance, and keep your digestion regular when you're not eating as much fiber or getting as much exercise as you do at home. You can try to increase your intake of foods that are high in magnesium with foods like almonds, spinach, legumes, seeds (especially pumpkin seeds), and whole grains. But the easiest way to make sure you are hitting your daily intake is by taking NATURELO's Plant-Based Magnesium supplement.
