This past weekend we completed the beautiful\u00a0\u00a0Magoebaskloof 100km Adventure race.<\/h1>

How Epsom salt helps for many different conditons<\/h2>

It took us 21 hours to complete the race. The race started with a 4km hike, 11km cycle, 7km paddle, 13km cycle, 21km hike and \u00a0a 42 km cycle. Lots and lots of hills and the most amazing scenery.<\/p>

I thought I would share with you a little trick I do recover from muscular stiffness after such long events. In fact I recommend for patients to use Epsom salts on a daily basis for a variety of conditions that is why I decided to share this information with you.<\/p>

Epsom salt\u00a0is magnesium sulfate – so when you soak in the bath with the salt\u00a0your body absorbs the magnesium and this relaxes the muscles.<\/p>

80% of us are magnesium deficient – either due to stress or eating refined foods. As soon as we eat refined sugar our body has to use our own magnesium to convert it into energy. So much for the advertisement “Sugar gives you energy”.<\/p>

All the benefits and how to use them at the end of the pictures.<\/p>

I love adventure racing besides for the beauty one explores, one has to constantly use your mind to find the checkpoints and read the map.
If you want to learn more about these exciting activities I have included some cool websites. Rogaine is suitable for younger kids as well as the distances are much much shorter.<\/p>

Benefits of Epsom salt\u00a0<\/strong>Drink water whilst you are soaking in Epsom salts bath. Soak anything from 10 – 30 minutes. If you have blood pressure problems please start slowly 5 minutes and see how your body tolerates Epsom baths.<\/p><\/div>
