In one of my business groups two doctors were
discussing the effects of stress on plants and people. One was a chiropractor and the other a plant
pathologist. They were not aware, until
that moment, that both plants and animals use a lot of calcium and magnesium
when under stress.
You’re
thinking, so what?
Well........ Last weekend I “over did it” in physical
exertion. I woke up at midnight with three
or four muscles in each leg cramping. The
degree of the cramps was severe, such that I had great difficulty just standing
up. Every move I made to stretch one
muscle caused one or two others to get worse.
The doctors’ words suddenly popped into my head, “Stress uses up your calcium and
magnesium.”
These cramps sure felt
like stress to me. I keep my vitamins
and minerals in the kitchen. So I
decided to try some. It took me a good
5 minutes to make it downstairs to the kitchen. I quickly drank an isotonic solution I mixed of calcium and
magnesium. (Isotonics get absorbed very
fast). Within ten minutes my cramps
began to disappear, and I slept the rest
of the night without any more cramping.
Usually, once I start experiencing muscle cramps in the night they
continue to occur every couple hours the rest of the night. Sure glad I was listening that day, had the minerals on hand and remembered
their words
