Hello,

I am now officially bored with rain, puddles, mud and grey skies ... how about you? .

On a brighter note I am excited about the prospect of the Spring Reset in March, when I'll be joining those already signed up for the best mind body Spring Clean. It's something that never fails to lift the mood, increase energy  and boost endorphins, creating smiles all round from the inside out! Just four places remaining for this first reset of the year. 

Health Matters this week is about the benefits of taking a magnesium supplement, it really is rated as 'magic' for all the things it can help with. It's something I have recently started taking on recommendation , so I'll let you know in due course how I'm getting on. Food Matters gives a nod to magnesium in foods with a delicious, Reset friendly Quinoa, spinach salad with avocado and almonds.

I mentioned last week that I am part of a group or members and friends taking part inj the My Way Virtual and Reverse London Marathon events on April 26th. With just 9 weeks until the big day training is in full stride despite the weather and we are collectively as a group raising funds with our efforts for the wonderful Isabel Hospice . Any donations would be much, much appreciated and worth evety mile of our Marathons - Thank you on behalf of all those taking part in anticipation of your support. 

Have a beautiful week, I'll see you in classes, online and at running club.

Health Matters>>>> 

There  seems to be al lot of talking about magnesium these days?  It's something I was recommended and have very recently started taking for the muscle cramps I have been experiencing - so watch this space!

  Magnesium is a mighty mineral that plays a crucial role in keeping our bodies running smoothly. Doctors explain it plays a crucial role in brain health, muscle function and in balancing blood-sugar levels, while social-media wellness types swear it can improve your sleep. The NHS recommends a daily intake of 300mg a day for men and 270mg for women. 

Firstly, magnesium is in fact involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in your body? It's like the unsung hero working behind the scenes, ensuring everything functions as it should. From helping your muscles relax after a workout to supporting your immune system, magnesium is pretty much a superstar.

 Some of the key benefits you might experience if you decide to add a magnesium supplement to your routine. For starters, magnesium is known for its calming effects. If you sometimes struggle with stress or anxiety, a little magnesium boost might help you feel more at ease. As a natural relaxant, it also aids more  restful sleep.

 Magnesium also plays a role in maintaining strong bones. You might think calcium is the only mineral you need for bone health, but magnesium is just as crucial. It helps your body absorb calcium better, making your bones stronger and healthier. So, if you're thinking about long-term health, magnesium is definitely something to consider.

Magnesium also helps regulate your heartbeat, keeps your blood pressure in check and those blood sugar levels balanced.

If you're wondering whether you should start taking magnesium supplements, it's always a good idea to check with your GP or pharmacist  first. . Remember, everyone's body is different, and what works for one person might not be the best for another.

 Magnesium then is a powerhouse mineral that can offer a multitude of health benefits. Whether you're looking to reduce stress, strengthen your bones, or support your heart, magnesium could be the supplement you didn't know you needed.
