Magnesium is a metal responsible for the function of over 300 enzymes and is vital for every major metabolic reaction in the body, from the synthesis of proteins, essential fatty acids and genetic material to the production of energy from glucose.

Few enzymes can work without Magnesium and lack of it leads to cell death due to the depletion of energy stores. Magnesium levels decrease with age, and lack of Magnesium might play a role in premature aging by reducing efficacy of enzymes and metabolic reactions.

A recommended dose is 300 mg per day. It is included in vitamin and mineral tablets and capsules.

A quick and refreshing exercise that can help relieve stress is a Chinese technique called the “inner smile”. This technique takes only a few minutes and brings rapid relaxation and rejuvenation to help leave tensions behind.

Below are the simple steps of the Chinese “Inner Smile” technique:
1. Sit comfortably with your back straight and your arms relaxed at your side.

4. Let the smile shine out of your eyes and travel inwards to spread all over your body, before concentrating just below your navel in an area known to the Chinese as tan tien (the seat of your constitutional essence).
