href=\"https:\/\/calisthenicsnerd.wordpress.com\/2020\/11\/17\/what-is-calisthenics\/\">Calisthenics<\/a> is a really demanding form of exercise, so you need to be in your best fitness level to handle it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no magic bullet for it but <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Magnesium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Magnesium<\/a><\/strong> comes close.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is an essential mineral to all cells and for more than 300\u00a0enzymes in your body and it\u2019s <strong>one of the most important nutrients for athletes in particular.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, <strong>Magnesium deficiency is the second most common in developed countries<\/strong>, after\u00a0Vitamin D deficiency&#8230; Most people don&#8217;t get enough of it, even from a healthy diet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its main dietary sources are nuts and leafy greens&#8230; So it&#8217;s quite hard to reach the recommended daily allowance just from that.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"uppercase\">Importance in training<\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magnesium plays a huge role in exercise performance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It helps move <strong>blood sugar<\/strong> into your muscles and dispose of <strong>lactate<\/strong>, which can build up during exercise and cause fatigue, helping them <strong>recover faster<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magnesium also improves <strong>sleep quality<\/strong>, helping you get proper <a href=\"https:\/\/calisthenicsnerd.wordpress.com\/2020\/11\/26\/what-is-niksen-the-importance-of-rest\/\"><strong>rest<\/strong><\/a> during the night, with <strong>relaxed muscles<\/strong> and reduced <strong>cramping<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is also <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/20352370\/\">linked<\/a> with higher <strong>testosterone<\/strong> levels.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During\u00a0exercise, you may need <strong>10\u201320%<\/strong> more magnesium than when you\u2019re resting, depending on the activity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"uppercase\">Importance for overall health<\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magnesium plays a critical role in\u00a0brain function\u00a0and mood, and low levels are linked to an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23950577\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increased risk of<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23950577\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">depression<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Magnesium also benefits people with type 2 diabetes<\/strong>&#8230; Studies suggest that about 48% of people with type 2 diabetes have low levels of magnesium in their blood.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/19617879\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Studies<\/a>, also, show that taking\u00a0magnesium can\u00a0<strong>lower blood pressure.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Low magnesium intake <strong>is linked to <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25023192\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chronic inflammation<\/a><\/strong>, which is one of the drivers of aging, obesity and chronic disease.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, some <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/22426836\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer

class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"uppercase\">Recommended Magnesium Intake<\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are different requirements for Magnesium intake depending on your genre, age and health condition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also athletes and people who exercise often need more magnesium, as well as pregnant women too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the table of the recommended daily allowance according to your genre and age :<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure id=\"t1572376255547\"
