Effects of Epsom Salt on the Human Body
Research has reported that raising your magnesium levels may:1. Improve heart and circulatory health, reducing irregular heartbeats, preventing hardening of the arteries, reducing blood clots and lowering blood pressure.
2. Improve the body’s ability to use insulin, reducing the incidence or severity of diabetes.
3. Flush toxins and heavy metals from the cells, easing muscle pain and helping the body to eliminate harmful substances.
4. Improve nerve function by regulating electrolytes. Also, calcium is the main conductor for electrical current in the body, and magnesium is necessary to maintain proper calcium levels in the blood.
5. Relieve stress. Excess adrenaline and stress are believed to drain magnesium, a natural stress reliever, from the body. Magnesium is necessary for the body to bind adequate amounts of serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of well being and relaxation.
