You guessed it- just magnesium intake won't help you lose weight. Magnesium has been- shown to reduce belly fat when combined with a colorful diet, regular exercise, and the right amount of daily calories!

It is because- magnesium is associated with lowering fasting blood glucose and insulin (an indicator of fat and weight gain), which is beneficial for overweight people. The stomach receives about half of the insulin in our blood, so the more sugar we take in, the more insulin we produce. This extra insulin is eventually processed in our stomachs, resulting in extra- fat.

As a result, getting enough magnesium will help maintain a weak average by lowering your insulin levels.

Magnesium also helps with the swelling and water retention that many of us, especially women, experience during menstruation. It works as a diuretic reduces pressure from fluid retention.

Magnesium can also be used as a laxative to help you lose weight by cleansing your intestines. Gentle on the stomach, so no need to worry about going to the bathroom in the middle of the night!
