Supplementing magnesium malate has been shown to reduce pain after as little as two days. Eat a healthy diet with plenty of magnesium-rich foods such as green vegetables, nuts and seeds. Supplement the key vitamins and minerals (the Bs, C, E, calcium and so on) in a good multivitamin, along with 600mg of magnesium malate. Reducing your stress levels, relearning how to relax and increasing exercise slowly are all important. Especially helpful are Psychocalisthenics exercises, which involve precise breathing patterns. By deepening breathing muscles work better.
