Oxygen, Water, and Magnesium: The Unsung Trio

​

We all know that oxygen and water are essential for life, but magnesium is often overlooked despite being just as crucial for optimal health. Magnesium plays a key role in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including:

• Energy production

• Muscle and nerve function

• Bone health

• Sleep regulation

• Inflammation control
   

Yet many people are deficient due to poor dietary intake, stress, or certain medications. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency may include fatigue, muscle cramps, joint pain, anxiety, and insomnia.
 

Affordable Topical Magnesium Remedy

One effective and budget-friendly way to boost magnesium levels is through transdermal absorption, applying it directly to the skin. Here's how:

What You’ll Need:

• Magnesium chloride flakes (available online or in health shops)

• A clean plastic spray bottle

• Warm water
   

Instructions:

1. Mix equal parts magnesium flakes and warm water
   (e.g., ½ cup flakes + ½ cup water).

2. Pour this mixture into the spray bottle until it’s half full.

3. Fill the remaining half with additional warm water to further dilute.

4. After showering, spray the solution onto areas like your stomach, legs, or sore joints.

5. Gently rub it in and allow it to absorb.
    

Note: A mild tingling or stinging sensation is normal, especially if you're magnesium-deficient. If discomfort persists, dilute the solution further with water.
 

This method bypasses the digestive system and allows for direct absorption into the bloodstream, making it ideal for those with gut sensitivities or absorption issues.
 

Vitamin C: The Immunity Powerhouse

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble nutrient that supports many vital functions:

• Boosts immune system response

• Neutralises free radicals as a powerful antioxidant

• Reduces oxidative stress linked to chronic diseases

• Improves iron absorption, helping prevent anaemia

• Supports cognitive health and may slow age-related decline

Since the human body cannot produce or store Vitamin C, it must be consumed regularly through diet or supplements.
 

Best Sources:

• Citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, grapefruits)

• Berries (strawberries, blackcurrants)

• Kiwi, papaya, and pineapple

• Leafy greens (spinach, kale)

• Bell peppers and broccoli
   

Tip: Cooking can reduce Vitamin C content, so aim to include raw fruits and vegetables in your daily intake.
