Did you find 2019 a bit too frantic? If so, there’s a solution for 2020: find your zen with magnesium. Find your magnesi-zen.

Andrew Thomas, founder and managing director at BetterYou, explains: “Magnesium is a vital nutrient that acts as a natural aid to muscle recovery and relaxation. Bathing in magnesium flakes or applying magnesium body spray or lotion to the skin helps create a feeling of ultimate relaxation, helping you to find your magnesi-zen.” We feel calmer just thinking about it!

According to NHS guidelines, the recommended amount of magnesium men should have per day is 300mg and 270mg for women. You can get magnesium in your diet by eating lots of green leafy vegetables, a good portion of nuts and brown rice, whole grain bread, fish, meat and dairy foods – but modern diets and pressured lifestyles have made magnesium a drastically less abundant mineral in our bodies.

Thanks to BetterYou, getting it into your life couldn’t be easier, whether that’s through an oil body spray, flakes, gel or body lotion. A natural, easy and effective way to soothe tired and aching muscles, the range has been expertly formulated to help you unlock the power of magnesium for a healthier body. Not only can magnesium help to support a healthy heart, it is also vital in converting the food we eat into energy. Renowned for helping symptoms associated with anxiety and depression, the mineral positively impacts rest, muscle recovery and good quality sleep.

It’s clear that magnesium has many benefits, which makes it perfect for anyone looking to embrace a “new year, new you” mindset. What’s more, BetterYou is an environmentally conscious brand, adhering to its own Better Planet Project. That means its products are natural, eco-aware and sustainably sourced.

As Andrew explains: “We are adopting environmental firsts and hope our actions will become a catalyst for change within our industry, encouraging other brands to be responsible, too.”

So, with BetterYou’s complete range of magnesium products – from gels, lotions, body sprays and butters – you’re not only helping yourself, you’re helping the planet. Just the very thought of such an all-encompassing approach is enough to make you feel more zen.
