Sodium to magnesium is the adrenal ratio: most variable ratio probably, influenced by immediate stress. High sodium will lower magnesium, which often causes magnesium to be lower than calcium which causes a host of problems including calcification and baldness. High sodium is caused by stress.
I think you can try to bias your physiolgy; right now its the "off" season so i feel myself slowing down, gaining a few kgs, very restful, in repair mode. I feel slower and more relaxed, almost like im drunk. Its a good feeling.
I have a wild theory that drinking makes us feel good because we use magnesium up in the enzymes to metabolise alcohol. @gbolduev @mattyb what do you guys think? So for this short period our body is flooded with magnesium, and it feels so good. Like the opposite of anxiety. Blissfullness. I think things like sports raise sodium etc increasing anxiety and alertness and reaction time (which is good for that specific activity) whereas something like meditation lowers stress, lowers sodium, increases magnesium. Good for relaxing and feeling good. I feel a more "low level drunken" feeling 24/7 now in the off season. The more the better imo as long as i still function for work and life (which isnt hard as being relaxed makes seemingly stressful things not stressful anymore, like awkward social situations or being stuck in traffic. If you're mellow its no problem, but if youre stressed you get anxious or angry and frustrated... both are draining)
Dr. Wilson actually called a personality trait of people with my low lvl magnesium as "beligirent" which was probably true, really unable to handle stress well (since i was already stressed with overworked adrenals, nothing more to give, i assume). Its curious as i did have anxiety and got stressed / angry more easily. Now i feel like i have much less anxiety, and dont get angry or stressed as much.
With the season starting again soon i plan to start doing some interval training and getting fit again. Heres the thing, with biasing myself into slow oxidation with magnesium supports, the exercising should "balance" me and now be a good thing for my physiology, so i think i will respond really well to it.
Last season at the end when i discovered all these minerals i found my physical performance, how much i could push cardiovascularly and my recovery, was insanely high compared to usual.
It will be interesting to see how i go this season, since we're playing on hardcourts and i suspect most matches will be very physical instead of skill-based.
