Beautiful Water for The Beautiful Game

Football is one of the nation’s favourite sports and it’s a fun way to exercise. It’s also a great way to spend time with your family and friends. Before you hit the pitch, it’s important to make sure your body is ready. But it’s not just stretching and warming up you need to consider. It’s vital to ensure you are hydrated and your body is supplied with the minerals it needs. Magnesium is one of these vital minerals.

If you want to kick like Kane, you need strong bones. Magnesium is one of the minerals that sustains bone growth and maintenance as it allows for calcium absorption and metabolism. It also stimulates the thyroid’s production of calcitonin, the hormone that preserves bone. Magnesium is vital for the body to be able to use Vitamin D, which also aids calcium absorption.

Magnesium is essential for normal muscle function. It helps to reduce the risk of cramps and supports the most important muscle in your body, the heart. When your heart works efficiently, oxygen reaches your muscles more easily. Muscles use up to three times more oxygen when you’re exercising compared to when you are resting. The more oxygen that reaches them, the better your performance in football and other sports.

Your body needs a steady supply of energy while you exercise. One of the easiest ways to ensure you have enough is with a delicious homemade sports drink. Better yet when you make them with Magnesium Mineralized Water, you boost your magnesium intake. Magnesium helps to regulate blood sugar, which means you get the most out of the energy you put in. Why not try one of these recipes.
