How to Safely Support Bones, Nerves, Mood & Sleep
(Inspired by the viral image — corrected for real-life use)
Do NOT take tablespoons of salt
-
Never ingest Epsom salt or rock salt daily
-
Tablespoon doses can harm digestion, kidneys, heart rhythm, and hydration
-
No salt cures anxiety, depression, cartilage loss, or insomnia
👉 This is the most important tip.
Use magnesium the RIGHT way
Magnesium is the real reason these posts exist.
Best form (oral):
-
Magnesium glycinate (best for sleep & anxiety)
-
Dose: 200–400 mg once daily
-
Take at night, after food
Why this works:
-
Calms the nervous system
-
Relaxes muscles
-
Supports deeper sleep
-
Helps nerve signaling
Use Epsom salt ONLY externally
Epsom salt = magnesium sulfate → external use only
Safe use:
-
1–2 cups in warm bath
-
Soak 15–20 minutes
-
2–3 times per week
Benefits:
-
Muscle & joint relaxation
-
Stress relief
-
Easier sleep onset
(No digestive risk)
Eat magnesium-rich foods daily
Food builds long-term results.
Best options:
-
Pumpkin seeds
-
Almonds
-
Spinach
-
Avocado
-
Black beans
-
Dark chocolate (small amounts)
Support bones & cartilage properly
Magnesium alone is not enough.
Add:
-
Calcium (food first)
-
Vitamin D (sunlight or supplement if needed)
-
Protein
-
Gentle movement (walking, stretching)
For anxiety & sleep (simple nightly habit)
-
Take magnesium in the evening
-
Dim lights 1 hour before bed
-
No phone scrolling in bed
-
Slow breathing for 3–5 minutes
Routine > miracle remedies.
Who should be extra careful
Always check with a healthcare provider if you have:
-
Kidney disease
-
Heart conditions
-
Low blood pressure
-
Are pregnant
-
Take multiple medications
