Magnesium could save your life!!!

You know what? Don’t take my word for it, but do take Dr Carolyn Deans word for it. Magnesium could (and most likely will) SAVE YOUR LIFE!!!

Her book entitled “The Magnesium Miracle” was a quick and easy read BUT, even more important, it was a life changing, eye opening read!!!

It is SO frustrating how the medical field has not put more of an emphasis on the importance and need for magnesium in our diet. More shocking than that is the fact that magnesium can literally save your life or at least change your life, and for the better! From the big problems Americans are facing- Anxiety & panic attacks, Asthma, Blood clots, Bowel disease, Cystitis, Depression, Detoxification, Diabetes, Fatigue, Heart disease, Hypertension, Hypoglycemia, Insomnia, Kidney Disease, Migraines, Musculoskeletal conditions, Nerve problems, Obstetricial & gynecological problems, Osteoporosis, Raynauds’s syndrome, restless leg syndrome, and even tooth decay to name a few!

I highly recommend that you read this book it will change your life!

Women vs. Weights

GAIN STRENGTH, NOT BULK–Unlike men, women have difficulty gaining size from strength training because they don’t produce significant amounts of muscle-building testosterone. They will develop muscle tone and definition.

CHANGE YOUR BODY——–Many of us just want to shed some extra pounds but aren’t finding success despite hours on the treadmill,stair stepper and in spin class. According to research, increased muscle mass helps the body burn more fat throughout the day.The longer and harder you work out, the greater the post-workout metabolism increase and the longer it lasts. Some research has shown a metabolism increase from 12-48hrs after a workout. Muscle tissue burns 25% more calories than fat tissue. So by strength training, we can increase muscle tissue and raise the rate at which calories are burned.

BUILD STRONG BONES——–Research shows it can increase spinal bone mineral density by 13% in six months!!! Combine a diet rich in calcium and plan on walking tall for years to come!

PREVENT ARTHRITIS———– Strength training has also been shown to build stronger connective tissues and increase joint stability. This can act as reinforcement for the joints and help prevent injuries and benefit those who suffer from arthritis.

LIFT FOR YOUR LIFE——- Research recently found that strength training plays a key role in controlling a woman’s weight. They discovered that women who lifted weights just twice a week were able to avoid the slow, one to two pound weight gain per year that’s so common in middle age.
