Tip of The Week...
Feeling Wimpy?
Finding it
harder to do what you once did easily? Check your multivitamin. If your arms
start to feel like wet noodles after carrying groceries, pushing the vacuum, or
doing a normal workout, you may be low on magnesium. Your muscles require this
mineral to function properly, yet two-thirds of us don't get enough. Meet your
daily intake with whole grains, nuts, leafy greens, and a multivitamin/mineral
supplement that includes magnesium.

Your body needs magnesium to power your muscles (and your heart, nerves, and bones, too) and when you don't have enough, it shows.
In one study, older adults who had the lowest magnesium levels also did the worst on strength tests, a risky combination that invites accidents and threatens the heart. The reason? Without enough magnesium, your body struggles to carry out physical tasks, which pushes up your heart rate and can leave you gasping for oxygen. Gaps in your diet are largely to blame.
