MINERAL MIRACLE.

New evidence suggests that magnesium can help your body to regulate vitamin D levels. Previous studies have shown vitamin D tends to be low when the body’s magnesium supplies are depleted.

Latest research found that the presence of magnesium in the body regulates higher levels of vitamin D (a moderate vitamin D level has been linked to the lower risk of cardiovascular disease).

It is recommended getting magnesium from food sources rather than supplements – try dark leafy greens, whole grains, dark chocolate, nuts, bananas and avocado.

THE STRESS EFFECT.

It’s no secret that stress is bad for your health. Long-term exposure to anxiety is linked to increased risk of heart attack, stroke and other conditions.

But new research shows negative emotions may alter your bodies immune response, leading to increased inflammation.

The results showed that those who experienced negative moods several times a day, for extended periods of time, tended to have higher levels of inflammation in their blood. 

It is hoped that further research may lead to psychosocial interventions to break the cycle that can lead to chronic inflammation and disease.

Meanwhile, hit that yoga class or meditation session.
