Magnesium Deficiency
Magnesium is a mineral involved in hundreds of biochemical reactions in the human body.
👉🏻 Since serum magnesium doesn’t reflect intracellular magnesium, most commonly deficiency of this nutrient isn’t diagnosed.
✅ Magnesium promotes vitamin D activation and regulates calcium and phosphate homeostasis, affecting bone growth and strength.
✅ Vital for regulating levels of glucose, insulin, and the neurotransmitter dopamine. Deficiency of this mineral can manifest itself as a strong craving for sugar, especially chocolate.
✅ Its deficiency contributes to cortical depression, affects nociceptive processing and neurotransmitter release, and provokes hyperaggregation of platelets, which are factors in the development of migraine.
✅ Twitching, tremors, and muscle spasms are signs of magnesium deficiency.
✅ Magnesium deficiency is associated with insulin resistance and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in adults. It regulates insulin secretion in the beta cells of the pancreas.

Happiness Chemistry
You can subdue the "happiness hormones" and take advantage of them, or let them play against you.
How do they play against you? Let’s say, addiction to short-term rewards, such as excessive carbohydrate and processed sugar intake.
👉🏻 You won't notice how addicted you get, while enduring extreme cravings and mood swings periodically.
What will help you reach a steady state: write a page in your gratitude journal, read a couple of pages of a book, drink a cup of delicious tea, meditate for 15 minutes.
Dopamine: get things done / take care of yourself / praise yourself for small accomplishments / eat healthy
Serotonin: consciously manage your mood / meditate / jog outdoors / get out in the sun more often
Oxytocin : play with your dog / hold hands / give compliments / show love in any manifestations
Endorphin : laugh / watch comedy / exercise.
