Magnesium - the most important mineral?
If you ask any athlete (especially endurance athletes) what nutritional supplement they always have with them for competitions, the most common answer will be "magnesium". Magnesium is definitely one of the most important minerals for our body. It is a so-called "deficiency" mineral because we excrete it from the body during excessive exertion, but also when we are not exercising! Just living in a noisy, stressful, demanding environment is enough...

Reishi, a mushroom used as far back as 4,000 years ago. The divine mushroom of immortality – in the past, it was believed to be able to revive even the dead. It has a particularly important place in Chinese medicine (under the name lingzhi), where it was first mentioned in writing 200 years before Christ. An entire army was assigned to search for it, because the Chinese imperial court believed that it could be used to mix an elixir of immortality. The Slovak name probably does not mean much to you - Leskokôrovka hnedočervená, it is actually a wood-destroying parasitic fungus that lives mainly on injured trees. It has a huge spectrum of biological substances. Its effects are also described in the professional encyclopaedia Huby ako .

Imagine that your body is a factory working at full capacity (to provide energy, growth, cell repair) and iron is the fuel that keeps it running. If iron reserves are depleted, you may experience weakness, heart palpitations or paler skin. Symptoms of iron deficiency include brittle nails, dry hair, shortness of breath, sleep problems, reduced concentration, cold extremities, increased frequency of infections, and anaemia (a lack of red blood cells caused by too little iron in the body), which manifests itself as extreme fatigue. With anaemia, the body is not supplied with enough oxygen and quickly becomes exhausted. Bruising can also be a sign of iron deficiency, as this mineral is important in the formation of haemoglobin, which supports the proper functioning of blood platelets.

We live in an age where constant tension and an overburdened nervous system are almost the social norm. Chronic stress and that unpleasant, creeping anxiety have long since ceased to be merely abstract psychological concepts. They manifest as a knot in the stomach, an endless stream of thoughts before bedtime, and a feeling of exhaustion that cannot simply be shaken off with a good night’s sleep. As if that weren’t enough, stomach problems can also be counted amongst the unpleasant symptoms. Although sleep, exercise and lifestyle adjustments remain the foundation of mental balance, during prolonged periods of nervous tension our body burns through key micronutrients whilst crying out for help.

Mornings are starting to get colder, the days are getting shorter by the day, and the morning mist reminds us that summer has definitely handed over the baton to autumn. However, along with cosy jumpers and a cup of hot tea comes a time when our bodies are put to the test.
