Un magneziu?

Un magneziu?

Mi-a venit greu sa scriu acest articol, din doua motive: 1. sa nu para “doar o reclama” si 2. pentru ca vorbeste despre limitele mele. Si na, e greu sa le strigi in gura mare si sa lasi tot Facebook-ul sa isi dea cu parerea.

 

EN: It was hard for me to write this article, for 2 reasons: 1. I didn’t want it to seem like just a commercial and 2. Because it speaks about my limitations. And you know, it is hard to talk about them openly and to let all Facebook chip in with an opinion.

  

O multime de lume imi scrie, laudandu-ma implicit, “cum reusesti sa faci atat de multe lucruri”, “ziua ta are mai mult de 24 de ore”, “cand ai timp de toate” si toate astea, pe un fond de supravietuitoare, ma fac sa fiu si mai ambitioasa, sa trag si mai tare. Cand, macar uneori, as  putea recunoaste, nu atat altora, ci as putea sa imi recunosc mie, ca ma simt obosita. Adevarul e ca uneori cand ma gandesc cate am de facut, cate deadline-uri si lucruri de rezolvat “urgent”, efectiv respir mai greu, am o presiune in piept.

Sunt perioade in care simti ca lucrurile nu se leaga si ca oricat ai trage, nu apare rezultatul sperat. Cei din jur te contrazic si incearca de fiecare data sa iti demostreze cate motive de bucurie si relaxare ai. Dar tu te simti obosit si poate chiar deznadajduit. Si cel mai mult si mai mult ti-ai dori sa dormi. Sa se rezolve toate de la sine in timp ce tu visezi. Eh, in momente ca acestea, una dintre prietenele mele actrite te-ar intreba: “Nu vrei sa iti dau un magneziu?”.

Acum cateva luni am primit cadou acasa un “kit anti-stres” de la Solgar. A fost unul dintre cele mai smart cadouri pe care le-am primit vreodata de la un brand sau agentie. Pur si simplu m-a facut sa zambesc. Pe langa o sticla cu supliment alimentar Magneziu cu Vitamina B6 de la Solgar, am primit – ca sa ma ajute sa ma eliberez de stres – o carte de colorat pentru adulti si un set de creioane. Nu ca e draguta ideea? Partea amuzanta e ca in aceeasi cutie de cadou era si o folie de protectie cu bule din aer, din acelea care se pocnesc. Pana sa citesc scrisoarea lor, m-am gandit ca inclusiv folia de cu bule face parte din kitul anti-stres, asa ca m-am apucat sa le pocnesc obsesiv. Abia mai tarziu mi-am dat seama ca era pusa pur si simplu sa protejeze sticla. “Uite, mi-au pus o folie ca sa ma relaxeze! Ah, nu, calmeaza-te, Dana, ala e ambalajul.” Concluzia: sunt stresata.

La vreo cateva saptamani dupa, m-au invitat sa va scriu despre experienta mea cu produsele lor. Si uite ca nu m-am apucat sa o fac pana cand nu am inceput sa iau, pentru prima oara in viata mea, magneziu cu vitamina B6. Ca sa va vorbesc deschis, in cunostinta de cauza. Implicit, recunosc ca uneori sunt stresata, ca sunt obosita, ca am temeri ca nu le voi duce pe toate la bun sfarsit.

Nu iau asadar de mult timp aceste suplimente, dar parca am inceput sa imi recapat avantul. Cel mai mult legat de Vlad, care a intrat in vacanta de la gradi, si pentru care abia astept sa mai inventez activitati noi. Efectiv, in loc sa ma sperie gandul ca nu mai e gradinita care sa ii consume energia, eu am un nou elan si imi vine in fiecare ora sa ii propun o activitate noua, fie ca vorbim de o vizita la muzeu, intr-un parc sau o noua lectie de gatit. Caci, da, parca am inceput sa si gatesc mai mult in ultima vreme. Repet, nu stiu daca e numai de la Magneziu si Vitamina B6 de la Solgar, cele pe care le iau eu acum, dar imi e bine, asa ca pot sa va propun sa le incercati. Si sa nu va fie rusine de voi (cum mi-a fost mie), ca uite, am nevoie de un supliment alimentar, singura nu ma descurc sa ies din starea asta de delasare si oboseala.

Combinatia de magneziu si vitamina B6 atenueaza efectele stresului, combate oboseala si extenuarea, contribuie la functionarea normala a sistemului nervos si a sistemului muscular, la mentinerea sanatatii sistemului osos si la la mentinerea sanatatii psihice. Ce nu stiam si am aflat abia acum este ca aceasta combinatie de magneziu si vitamina B atenueaza crampele, migrenele (pe care le urasc din tot sufletul), si este ideal pentru sindromul premenstrual (reduce anumite simptome precum dureri de cap, iritabilitate si crampe) – sindrom care, contrar oricaror asteptari, s-a accentuat in cazul meu dupa nastere. Deci nu ne ajuta doar pentru a combate stresul, de care oricum avem cu totii parte, ci ajuta pe multe alte cai.

Si daca tot am vazut ca magneziu functioneaza, am inceput sa iau si ulei de ficat de cod – COD liver Oil -, tot de la Solgar. Pe aceste suplimente mi le-a recomandat de mai multe ori o alta prietena (care este un adevarat expert in suplimente). Dar, avand tot timpul altele pe cap, am amanat momentul pana acum o saptamana, cand am inceput sa le iau, fiind o sursa excelenta de ulei din ficat de cod, imbogatita cu vitaminele  A si D si acizii grasi EPA si DHA. Toate acestea contribuie la mentinerea sanatatii sistemului nervos, dar si la mentinerea sanatatii ochilor sau dintilor. Complexul concentrat Solgar asigura o concentratie ridicata a acizilor grasi Omega 3, cat si vitaminele A și D.

Si acum va intreb si pe voi: ati luat pana acum vreodata magneziu impotriva stresului si starilor de oboseala? Inainte sa incep sa iau, mi-am intrebat prietenele si 8 din 10 luasera deja si imi spuneau ca la ele are efect. Si indiferent de meserie si de programul de lucru, cred ca toata lumea are acum o viata agitata si, indiferent de cat munceste, un sentiment de nesiguranta. Plus unul de vinovatie pentru nereusite. Corect? Dar ulei de ficat de cod ati luat? Ce efecte ati vazut la voi?

EN: Lots of people write to me in praise “how do you manage to do so many things”, “your day has more than 24 hours”, “when do you have time for it all” and all of these, considering I am a fighter, make me be more ambitious, and push myself even harder. When in fact, sometimes I could admit at least to myself that I feel tired. The truth is that sometimes, when I think about all the things I need to do, all the deadlines and the urgent stuff I need to take care of, I suddenly breath a bit heavier and I feel something pushing on my chest.

There are times when you feel that things don’t add up and that no matter how much you try, the desired result is delayed. The ones around you don’t agree and try to show you how many reasons for joy and relaxation you have. But you feel tired and maybe even hopeless. And all you want to do is sleep. And you dream about everything coming together like magic, without any troubles. Well, these are the times when a friend of mine, an actress usually asks me: don’t you want a magnesium pill?

A few months ago, I received an anti stress kit from Solgar. It was one of the smartest presents I ever got from a brand or an agency. It simply made me smile. Along with a bottle of Magnesium with B6 Vitamin from Solgar I received – to help me relieve stress – a coloring book for adults and coloring pencils. Wasn’t it nice? The funny part is that in the box there was a plastic wrap with air bubbles and I thought that even that was part of the anti stress kit and I started popping them before reading the letter.

A few weeks after that they invited me to write about the experience I had with their products. And here I am, trying for the first time in my life Magnesium supplements with Vitamin B6. I did it so I can tell you about them in my honest, tried and tested opinion. Especially since I am so stressed and tired and sometimes I am scared that I can not do it all. I just started trying these supplements, but I already got my groove back. Especially when it comes to Vlad (son) who is now on holiday from the kindergarten and for whom I can not wait to think of new activities. Instead of being scared of him not being in kindergarten and consuming all my energy, now I have all this drive to entertain him and to think of new stuff for doing together. I even started cooking more. Again, I don’t know if it is only from the Magnesium with B6 Vitamin from Solgar, the ones I take now, but I feel really good, so I can suggest that you try them too. And don’t feel ashamed that you need help (I did feel at the beginning) and that you need support to get out of the mellow state.

The Magnesium and Vitamin B6 combination helps relieve the effects of stress, fights against fatigue and extenuation and contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and the muscular system, helps maintain the health of bones and helps maintain the mental health. What I did not know and I only just found out is that this combo of B6 and magnesium helps relieve the cramps, migraines and it is ideal in PMS (it reduces head ache, pain and moodiness), something that got more intense in my case after giving birth. So it is not helpful just for stress, something that we fight everyday, all of us, but it is a great ally for a lot of things.

 And if we established that magnesium is efficient I also started taking COD liver oil, from Solgar as well. A friend of mine recommended these to me several times before (and she is an expert in supplements).

I postponed taking them until a week ago because I always had something else on my mind. They are a great source of Vitamin A and D and fat acids like EPA and DHA. All these contribute to maintaining the health of the nervous system, of the eyes, teeth, they help us have a stronger hair and a more beautiful skin. The concentrated complex from Solgar helps us get a high concentration of fat acids Omega 3 (EPA and DHA) and also Vitamin A and D.

And now I ask you: did you ever tried magnesium against stress and fatigue? Before I started taking them I asked my friends and 8 out of 10 of them already tried it and told me that it has a great effect for them. And no matter your job and work hours, I think that everyone has a hectic life and no matter how much they work, a certain insecurity. And some extra guilt when you don’t get to do all the things you want to do. Am I right? Did you ever tried cod liver oil? What effect did it had on you?
