1. GET MORE MAGNESIUM
Magnesium supplements can help with stress by regulating neurotransmitters, lowering cortisol levels, promoting relaxation, improving sleep quality and balancing blood sugar. They help maintain balanced brain function and mood, while their natural muscle-relaxant properties alleviate physical tension. By regulating melatonin, magnesium improves sleep quality, which is crucial for stress reduction. During stress, the fight-or-flight response increases heart rate, blood pressure and muscle tension, leading to greater magnesium consumption and excretion. These low magnesium levels can also increase anxiety and exacerbate stress, so supplements may be beneficial during these times. Try Healthspan Opti-Magnesium (£14.99 for 90 tablets, healthspan.co.uk).
