A good night’s sleep seems hard to come by these days, but it is incredibly important. Disrupted sleep can have a serious and detrimental effect on our health in many ways including increased stress, impaired mental acuity and weakening of the immune system.

Unfortunately, it is often extremely different for people with poor sleep patterns to easily adjust the aspects of their life (such as stress, work and dietary) that are known to play a key role in sleep patterns. Nutrition and a healthy digestion are both essential to this.

This won’t be the first time you will have heard ‘magnesium’ and ‘sleep’ mentioned in the same sentence. This is because magnesium levels are known to contribute to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and to promote sleep,  but unfortunately levels of magnesium in foods today are poor.
