Magnesium is an important micronutrient that many parts of your body – including your nervous system, your muscles, your heart, your bones and immune system – needs in order to function properly. The adult human body contains about 25 grams, with about half stored in the bones, while the rest can be found in soft tissues, bodily fluids and muscles. Most adults in the US do not meet that daily target through their diet. And selecting a supplement is no easy task, as a bewildering number of products can be found on the market. 

It seems like something from a science fiction novel, but it's not: the human body has a "second brain" composed of two thin layers of more than 100 million nerve cells that run from the esophagus to the tail end of the body. It is a technical network that works independently of the brain and controls its own reflexes and senses. Information and signals are passed through the complex network of neurons to coordinate efforts and move food through the digestive system.

Migraines impact many people all over the world. There are different types of migraines, and luckily several accessible ways to treat them.

Sugar and caffeine are diuretics, meaning they dehydrate your body. The biochemical balance of your cells get disrupted and you no longer have Electrolyte Homeostasis (proper cell hydration).

Even though there isn’t one simple solution to prevent migraines, there is a balance that, when achieved in your diet, can lessen or prevent your migraine.

It can be shocking to learn that you can drink water all day and still be dehydrated. But, water itself does not hydrate your cells. For water to be absorbed and used properly in the body, it needs electrolytes too.
