Negative emotions often cause people to eat when they are bored, angry or already full. Improving your emotional intelligence will help you make smarter food decisions, eat healthier and better manage your weight, Too often we consume food mindlessly rather than taking a breath and consciously thinking through our options.
So how does Epsom Salts come into this? Leading psychologist, Dr. Susan Albers, recommends a variety of simple practices to increase mindfulness:
- Enjoy an Epsom Salts soak: add two cups of Epsom salt and half a cup of olive oil into warm bathwater and soak for 15 minutes.
- Another bath time option is a warming mustard soak - Mix 1/4 cup mustard seed powder, 1/4 cup Epsom Salts, 1/2 cup baking soda and six drops of your favourite essential oil.
- Nutrition Boost - Stock up on magnesium, vitamin D and iron to help your body run smoothly.
The Epsom Salts soak has further benefits if you're looking to start on a new note. Many people say that they help increase energy and improve productivity and that they help commit to healthy living.
Magnesium absorbed through the skin from Epsom Salts also helps regulate blood sugar levels, blood pressure and muscle and nerve function and results in better sleep which is one of the foundations of a healthy life.
Starting on a new exercise regime? At night soak in Epsom Salts to soothe muscles, feel relaxed and ultimately get a better night's sleep.
