Your body is begging you for these nutrients - here are 5 signs it's giving you: #1 Eye twitches - Magnesium Magnesium is a calming electrolyte in the nerves. Without enough, the nerves and muscles can be in a perpetual excited state, causing twitches.
Twitches, cramps and spasms = mineral deficiencies. Magnesium, potassium, sodium and calcium are all vital for maintaining proper conductance in motor neurons / muscles. A lack of these electrolytes can result in excess excitation of the nerves and uncontrolled movements.
Magnesium is abundant in spring water, seafood and more. I've written more on the importance, benefits and how to get enough magnesium here:
#2 High blood pressure - Potassium Over 97% of Americans don't get enough potassium. Another calming electrolyte, especially for the blood vessels - it blocks the excitatory influx of calcium ions that causes vasoconstriction.
Potassium completely reverses high blood pressure. 2.5g a day in this study dropped it by 42/17, returning values to normal. ➜ Directly relaxes blood vessels ➜ Reduces excitability in nervous system ➜ Improves insulin sensitivity contributing to this effect.
Some foods PACKED with potassium: ➞ Potatoes (any kind) ➞ Orange juice ➞ Coconut water ➞ Cream of tartar ➞ Lean red meat ➞ Salmon ➞ Milk ➞ White button mushrooms
#3 White spots on nails - Zinc Your nails are made primarily from a protein called keratin, and the cells that produce keratin rely heavily on zinc to proliferate. Improper keratin formation, air pockets or structural defects within the nail plate appear as white spots.
Dry or flaky skin, hair loss, and brittle nails are all warning signs your body needs more zinc. Cells that multiply and differentiate rapidly need lots of zinc: ◇ Immune cells ◇ Skin cells (fibroblasts) ◇ Hair / nail producing cells (keratinocytes) ◇ Cells lining the gut

#4 Bruising easily - Vitamin K2 Bruises are caused by the rupturing of capillaries - small blood vessels that give your tissues nutrients. Vitamin K2 helps the blood coagulate appropriately to heal the vessels and prevent excessive bleeding.
Vitamin K2 (topical) rapidly heals bruises. More vitamin K2 = more clotting capacity = faster blood vessel healing = less internal bleeding from vessel damage. Very common symptom that can be treated easily.
K2 also has a TON of other benefits I've written about below (along with what foods + supps to optimize it)
#5 Dark circles under eyes - Vitamin C The skin underneath the eyes is very thin - more susceptible to collagen loss. The dark color is caused by hemoglobin (from the blood) that gets oxidized, which accumulates in this area with blood vessel congestion and damage.
Vitamin C reduces dark circles under the eyes. 10% mix applied for 6 months achieved this by: ➝ Stimulating collagen synthesis ➝ Inhibiting excessive skin pigmentation / coloring ➝ Preventing oxidative stress (causes colorization) Orally it acts on the same pathways.
