Magnesium: energy and muscle support
Magnesium is another vital mineral, involved in the production of ATP, cellular energy. Insufficient magnesium intake can cause muscle cramps and fatigue. To maintain a good level of magnesium, it is recommended to consume approximately 420 mg per day. Pumpkin, sunflower seeds and green leafy vegetables are excellent sources of magnesium.
Vitamin B1: the ultimate solution
Vitamin B1, or thiamine, plays a crucial role in carbohydrate metabolism. It allows the body to convert carbohydrates into energy. A B1 deficiency prevents this conversion, leading to an accumulation of sugar and aggravating the glycation process. Excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates depletes B1 stores in the body, leading not only to circulation problems, but also to peripheral neuropathy, characterized by burning or numbness in the feet.
Reducing sugar to maintain benefits
Even by increasing potassium, magnesium and vitamin B1 intake, it is crucial to reduce the intake of refined carbohydrates to prevent the swelling from recurring. As long as these carbohydrates continue to be consumed, swelling and other symptoms will return. A balanced diet low in refined sugars is therefore the key to preventing oedema and improving the overall health of cells.
