Today’s young people often feel drained even after hearty meals and ample sleep, and nutritionist Dr. Archita Mahajan (Masters in Food Nutrition & Dietetics, homeopathic pharmacist, certified yoga teacher, Padma Bhushan nominee, and Punjab government honoree) pins it on magnesium deficiency—not poor rest.
Why Magnesium Matters
This vital mineral powers energy production, muscle function, and nerve health; its shortage sparks fatigue, weakness, muscle pain, cramps, and mental fog.
Hidden Deficiency Crisis
Studies show 42% of adults suffer chronic fatigue from low magnesium, worsened by processed diets lacking greens, nuts, and seeds, plus stress, alcohol, and certain meds depleting stores. Routine blood tests miss it since only 1% circulates there—most stays in cells.
Quick Fixes
Boost intake with magnesium-rich foods like almonds, spinach, pumpkin seeds, and avocados. Consult a doctor for supplements if symptoms persist to restore balance and vitality fast. Small dietary tweaks can end that constant exhaustion.
