Add WHAT to your feet? This simple habit will have you sleeping like a baby!
There are SO MANY sleep tips out there – but this one actually works!
People are desperate to get a good night’s rest and they will try anything to get it. From expensive supplements, sleep tests, random recipes, special sheets, luxury mattresses, kicking their snoring spouse to the other side of the house… it all becomes too much!
The stress of trying to sleep better is what’s keeping so many people up at all hours of the night. And, as you may know by now, stress is the #1 cause of over 90% of medical issues – that includes sleep problems.
When your body is in a stressed state, it cannot relax and function in a state of peace. It goes wonky. It wakes you up at 3 am and keeps you tossing and turning.
No matter what you do, if stress isn’t managed, it’ll keep you running in a continual, sleep-deprived cycle. No fun.
So what do you do? And don’t let anyone tell you, “Just relax. Don’t stress.” because that will just give them a one-way ticket to Kick in the Throat Avenue.
The key to managing stress is to get your body back in balance.
And to do that, you need to make sure your body has the “spark plugs” it needs to do so.
Those spark plugs are called MINERALS.
Especially magnesium.
Your body burns through minerals and magnesium at a rapid-fire rate whenever it’s under stress. Minerals are a fuel source and are needed for proper function. When stress takes over, these spark plugs can’t effectively do their job, thus leading to burn out, disregulated emotions, and poor sleep.
If you want to sleep better (and not become a grumpy rhino for the rest of your life), incorporating minerals while managing your stress will be the game changer to your overall health and quality of sleep.
Now, many people will tell you to try magnesium powders or pills. They do work for many people and there are some quality brands and formulas out there. But for some people, taking magnesium in isolation can be harsh on their gut and may cause weird side effects like dizziness, low blood pressure, or unexpected bowel movements.
There are many types of magnesium out there, and it can be expensive trying to trial-and-error your way to figure out which ones your body responds well to.
You don’t have a lot of money or time to waste on this method, so in order to bypass this additional layer of stress (which we’ve already determined you don’t need anymore stress), grab a magnesium that can be applied topically rather than ingested.
Why?
Because topical magnesium is readily absorbed by the largest organ of the human body – aka skin.
It bypasses the digestive tract, thus removing the risk of gut discomfort or internal reactions. Topical magnesium gets absorbed by the body and utilized right away. It’s easy to apply and implement on a daily basis rather than waiting around for a few days or weeks for your body to acclimate to (yet another) supplement.
Save your gut the stress and reach for a topical magnesium spray like this one.
A few sprays (3-4) on the bottom of each foot or behind each knee at night is all you need. Pair this with a healthy diet and daily movement (aka 10 minute walks) and soon you’ll start to notice you’re sleeping better and feel more stable when it comes to facing your daily stressors.
NOTE: Some people say that they experience slight burning or irritation when first applying this spray. Magnesium does have a “salty” disposition, so if you recently shaved your legs or have sensitive skin, use fewer sprays as your skin adjusts over time, or reach for a formula that is designed for sensitive skin users. This is why many people start off spraying the bottoms of their feet; the skin there is tougher and more resilient than thinner parts of the body like knees or inner arm.
Give topical magnesium a try and see how you feel in as little as 2 weeks!
You should notice feeling a bit more relaxed at night and your stretches between waking up are longer and more fulfilled.
Best of luck! Sweet dreams, friend!
