Eating the wrong type of foods in improper amounts creates stomach issues and impairs digestion. Your body requires vital energy to digest your food. The slower and weaker the digestive system, the more vitamins, and minerals are required to assimilate food.
So you are not only not absorbing enough nutrients from food, but you are also losing some essential nutrients during digestion. This becomes a negative vicious cycle.
For example, if you eat dry food or do not chew your food thoroughly. Your body loses a lot of magnesium while breaking down and digesting the food. As a result, you become magnesium deficient over time, which leads to significant digestive and energy issues. Most individuals, including experts, are unaware of this connection.
I remember eating a badly cooked pizza in the past and observing how my face was impacted (wrinkles became more apparent) and my legs felt lifeless. Because the pizza was undercooked, I couldn’t chew it properly and swallowed it, plus there was too much cheese, which lowers magnesium levels.
I could clearly feel my body sucking all of the magnesium and other elements out of my cells in order to break down the food. I couldn’t sleep that night. Can you see the interesting connection between the two?
Insomnia and sleep difficulties are also common symptoms of magnesium deficiency. People with irritable bowel syndrome, are likely magnesium deficient due to the excessive stress placed on their organs by daily stress and the stress caused by eating unhealthy food.
Magnesium is an essential mineral for a variety of bodily functions. A deficiency of this essential mineral causes fatigue, depression, stomach issues, arthritis, and a variety of other ailments.
In conclusion, always try to chew your food properly. Don’t eat dry meat and bad quality bread. Avoid eating large meals at once. Take it easy with oily and fried foods to avoid indigestion and a lack of vital minerals like magnesium.
