Did you know that over 50 million Americans strugg Did you know that over 50 million Americans struggle with acne each year, and no, they are not all teens! If you're struggling with adult acne you are not alone. ⁠

The root causes of adult acne may vary, but knowing what they are and addressing them at the source is the best way to not only clear up breakouts but prevent them in the future. 💪🏻⁠
Have you tried an "Alligator Pear:? 🥑⁠ ⁠ I Have you tried an "Alligator Pear:? 🥑⁠
⁠
I know what you're thinking..⁠
⁠
"That's an avocado!"⁠
⁠
Yes, you're correct but it's also widely known as an Alligator Pear 😎⁠
⁠
Avocados are loaded with fiber and potassium, designed to aid in bloating and gas, while at the same time, their natural high content of fat helps you feel full for longer periods of time.⁠
⁠
The fats that are contained in an avocado are actually heart healthy fats and aid in cardiovascular function. ❤️⁠

How magnesium can benefit your blood pressure 👇 How magnesium can benefit your blood pressure 👇🏼⁠
⁠
Magnesium functions to alter the contraction and dilation of blood vessels. More contraction and stiffer vessels = higher blood pressure. 📈⁠
⁠
More dilated and relaxed blood vessels = lower blood pressure. 📉⁠
⁠
Research has shown that magnesium can support the ability of the blood vessels to dilate, and reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure.⁠
⁠
So, how do you know if you're getting enough magnesium?⁠
⁠
Anything that twitches, cramps, or spasms may be a sign of low magnesium status!⁠
⁠
Another way to look for magnesium levels is by checking intracellular magnesium or RBC magnesium. I can help you check this with labs 😉⁠
⁠
If you're low, try adding one or more of the sources mentioned above 👍🏼
