Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 600 chemical reactions in the body, yet it is one of the most commonly deficient nutrients. It is crucial for energy production, muscle and nerve function, blood sugar control, blood pressure regulation, and overall heart and bone health. Ensuring an adequate intake of magnesium can help support these bodily functions and potentially reduce the risk of related health conditions.
A deficiency in magnesium can lead to various health issues such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, migraines, anxiety, depression, muscle cramps, and insomnia. Each of these conditions has symptoms that can manifest more intensely when magnesium levels are low, highlighting the importance of maintaining adequate magnesium levels. Factors contributing to magnesium deficiency include poor diet, stress, certain medications, and digestive issues.
Different forms of magnesium supplements exist, each with varying degrees of absorption and effectiveness. Common forms include magnesium glycinate, known for its high absorption rate and use for sleep and relaxation, and magnesium taurate, often recommended for heart health. By selecting the appropriate form of magnesium and ensuring proper supplementation, individuals can address deficiencies and promote better overall health.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
