We've all experienced that dreaded feeling of achy muscles after a killer Pilates session or ramping up our gym sessions. One of our favourite ways to combat this feeling is all in the magic of Magnesium Oil. We spoke with Australian Made Magnesium-Based Skincare brand, The Base Collective, to unpack all there is to know about the benefits of Magnesium Oil.
Before we jump into the Magnesium oil goodness, let's quickly chat about why we get sore after exercise, also known as DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). DOMS is basically that muscle pain and stiffness that kicks in around 12-24 hours post-workout, and it peaks at about 48 hours. It's like your muscles' way of saying, "Hey, we worked hard yesterday!" This soreness happens because your muscles experience tiny tears and inflammation after intense exercise.
Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a starring role in muscle function. It helps your muscles contract, relax, and even produce energy. When you go all out in your workouts, your body's magnesium levels can take a hit. And guess what? That can lead to muscle cramps, spasms, and DOMS.
Simply spray some magnesium oil onto your sore spots, and watch it work its magic by easing tension and saying goodbye to those muscle spasms.
Magnesium is also a superhero when it comes to reducing inflammation. Less inflammation means less pain and swelling – the usual suspects in DOMS discomfort.
Magnesium helps your blood vessels relax, which translates to better circulation. Good blood flow means nutrients and oxygen reach your sore muscles faster, helping them heal and recover quicker.
Stress can crank up the muscle soreness. Magnesium is like your personal stressbuster, calming your nerves and indirectly helping you beat DOMS.
Now that you are up to speed with the magic of Magnesium, here are The Base Collective's top recommendations on how to best utilise it:
In a nutshell, DOMS don't have to be your workout nemesis. Make Magnesium Oil a part of your routine and watch those DOMS days become a thing of the past! Remember, consistency is key, so keep the magnesium oil handy in your gym bag or at home for a relaxing post-workout evening.
