Hoe weet je of je een magnesiumtekort hebt? - NOT FOR TOMORROW

How do you know if you have a magnesium deficiency?

in Stories

Magnesium. Everyone needs it, but hardly anyone thinks about it until it’s too late.
Often, you’re walking around with a deficiency without realizing it, while you think you’re just “tired,” stressed, or a bad sleeper.
How do you recognize it? And what can you do?

Why is magnesium so important?

Magnesium is involved in more than 300 processes in your body. It helps your muscles relax, supports your energy metabolism, and keeps your nervous system balanced. Without enough magnesium, you literally get stuck.

Signs of a magnesium deficiency

Watch for these symptoms:

  • Muscle cramps or twitches

  • Restless legs, especially at night

  • Poor or restless sleep

  • Irritability or stress

  • Fatigue or feeling “empty,” even after enough sleep

  • Headaches or migraines

  • Trouble focusing or with memory

  • Heart rhythm disturbances (in severe cases)

Many people recognize one or more of these signs but don’t connect them to magnesium.

Why is it so easy to get a deficiency?

  • Processed foods contain less magnesium than ever

  • Stress, sports, and intense thinking use up extra magnesium

  • Coffee, sodas, and some medicines lower your magnesium reserves

Even if you eat healthily, you might still not get enough.

What can you do?

  1. Eat magnesium rich foods: nuts, green vegetables, bananas, dark chocolate, seeds, and whole grains.

  2. Limit stress & coffee: They use up a lot of magnesium.

  3. Supplement smartly:
    Choose a well absorbed form, such as Not For Tomorrow’s Magnesium Complex.
    (Be critical: not every form is equally effective!)

My experience

When I finally used a truly good magnesium supplement, I noticed the difference right away:
Better sleep, less restlessness, more energy. It’s now the foundation of my daily recovery.

NOTFORTOMORROW : no quick fix, but structural support

Magnesium isn’t a miracle without it, nothing works optimally.
Choose quality, stay aware, and feel the difference.
Not tomorrow, but today.

Water filters: Why your tap water isn’t always safe and how a filter really makes the difference

Tap water in the Netherlands and Germany is known as “safe.” But safe doesn’t always mean healthy or optimal for your body. What’s actually coming out of your tap, and when is a water filter worth it? What’s (invisibly) in tap water? Chlorine (residues): Used to disinfect water, but dries out skin, hair and mucous membranes. Lead & heavy metals: Especially in older houses (lead pipes) or during plumbing work. Medicine residues & hormones: Not fully removed by most water treatment plants. Pesticides & microplastics: More and more often found in drinking water due to agriculture and industry. Limescale/hardness: Not directly dangerous, but can burden devices and your skin. Many of these substances aren’t immediately dangerous, but build up over time. Especially for sensitive people, children, pregnant women, or if you drink a lot of water, this can become a problem. Why use a water filter? Healthier base: Filters remove most chlorine, heavy metals, pesticides and microplastics. Your water tastes softer and is less burdensome for your body. Better for skin and hair: Especially for skin issues, dry hair, eczema or allergies, a filter (even for the shower!) can make a huge difference. Safety for the whole family: Children, the elderly and people with a weak immune system are more sensitive to contamination. Which filters are there and what really works? Jug filters (Brita, BWT, etc.): Easy, cheap, remove chlorine and some heavy metals. Downside: need frequent replacement, don’t filter everything. Under sink systems (osmosis, activated carbon): More advanced, filter 99% of all impurities. An investment, but very pure results. Shower filters: Specially for chlorine and heavy metals ideal for skin issues or if you have a baby/child. Whole house filters: For those who want all tap water filtered. Largest investment, biggest impact. My experience Since I use tap and shower filters, my skin issues and irritated eyes are gone. Water tastes softer, tea and coffee are better, and I feel calmer after a shower. Pay attention when choosing a filter: Replace filters on time (otherwise, you still get bacteria build up) Check filter type (activated carbon, ceramic, reverse osmosis) Always check the specs: What does it filter and what not? Short & powerful Water filters aren’t a luxury they’re a smart investment in your daily health. Want to get the most from your food, supplements, and yourself? Start with the basics: pure water, inside and out. Not tomorrow. Today. NOTFORTOMORROW.

My skin is calmer, my focus is better, and I never crave water or feel bloated like I did with hard tap water. How do you know if your water is pure? Check the mineral balance on the label (the lower the residue, the softer the water) Look at the source: Deep mountain springs are purer than shallow wells Taste the difference: Truly soft water is light, refreshing, and leaves no film in your mouth Short & powerful Not all water is equal.

From stress to strength: How to recover faster than ever

Everyone knows stress. But did you know stress doesn’t have to be a bad thing? It’s all about balance, awareness, and recovery. How do you go from tense to resilient? How do you become stronger with every setback? What does stress do to your body? Stress causes extra adrenaline and cortisol. Useful when you need to perform, but too much or too long drains your energy, sleep, and mood. Signs of too much stress: Poor sleep Fatigue Restlessness or irritability Less focus More (muscle) pain or tension Recovery starts with awareness Recovering from stress takes time and attention. It’s about listening to your body and making conscious choices. What really helps? Enough sleep: Your body and brain recharge at night. Movement: Walking, cycling, yoga or strength training – everything helps. Healthy food: Give your cells what they need, not just quick sugars. Moments of rest: Go offline, do a breathing exercise, meditate or just “do nothing.” Supplements as support Sometimes you need extras. Think magnesium for relaxation, shilajit for energy or vitamin C for your immunity. But: supplements are support, not the base. My experience I always have stress, but now I see it as a signal not as an enemy. By building in more rest, eating more consciously, and choosing the right support, I recover faster and feel stronger than ever. Short & powerful Stress is part of life. So is recovery. Make stress your strength with conscious choices, daily routines and real support. NOT FOR TOMORROW because recovery cannot wait until tomorrow.
