Magnesium is... your post workout buddy

#FridayFact ๐
If you work out regularly, magnesium is definitely a nutrient that you donโt want to be lacking in. Sweating gets rid of key electrolytes in the body, including magnesium. These need to be replaced after a gym session, especially if it was a fairly intense one. ๐ช๐ผโ

Magnesium helps the muscles to relax post-workout, which counteracts the role that calcium plays in contracting the muscles. ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ A lack of magnesium can upset this delicate balance and youโre likely to feel the effects of this as sore muscles. โ๏ธ If you donโt replace the magnesium you lose while youโre working out, your muscles find it harder to recover.โ
