Happy #SupplementSunday !! Hopefully you all are recovering from the 4th of July and have prepared for the week ahead!!! I'm back home and ready to be back on routine. . My favorite ways to do that is by getting a good night sleep. BUT that starts off by how I prepare myself for the sleep! I take magnesium every single night before bed. . Magnesium has many roles inside the body including ensuring that your muscles are contracting and relaxing effectively, contributes to strong bone structure, helps convert food to energy, & more! . Most people underestimate how powerful sleep really is. . A few things that might surprise you: . Only a small percentage of adults consistently get the recommended 7+ hours of sleep each night. . Even one night of poor sleep can impair your reaction time, focus, and decision-making to a level comparable to being legally intoxicated. . Chronic sleep deprivation is linked to a higher risk of weight gain because it affects hunger homones, cravings, recovery, and energy levels. . Sleep isn't "doing nothing." It's when your body gets to work. . While you're sleeping, your muscles recover, your brain organizes and stores information, hormones regulate, your immune system recharges, and your body prepares you to perform at your best the next day. . A few habits that help me: • Put my phone away before bed. • Keep a consistent bedtime whenever possible. • Sleep in a cool, dark room. • Take magnesium as part of my nighttime routine to help me relax and unwind. . You can't out-train poor recovery. If you want better workouts, more energy, improved body composition, and better overall health, start protecting your sleep. . I always reach for the chocolate sea salt or peach rings from 1st Phorm because it is the perfect sweet night cap to drink before bed.
