Do you have a twitching upper or lower eyelid?
; Our bodies are biological computers which
often give us signs when there is something wrong.
Many people live in a state of stress which can cause chemical changes in our blood, leading
to twitching in the small muscles around your eyes.
These involuntary twitches can also happen in other muscles in your body, such as on
your legs, arms, hands or feet.
Twitches are caused by an electrolyte imbalance.
This simply means that minerals like calcium, magnesium or potassium aren't reaching your
muscle cells properly.
Your muscles need these important minerals to relax and contract as they should naturally.
In today's video we are going to explore the common causes of this mineral imbalance, and
explain how to cure twitching eyelids permanently.
3 Causes Of Twitching Eyelids
Let's take a look at the 3 most common causes of eyelid twitching and some simple ways to
fix this irritating problem.
Cause #1: Soda Drinks Soda drinks contain a chemical compound called
phosphoric acid, which gives them a tangy flavour.
This is added to prevent the growth of mould and bacteria.
Unfortunately if you drink too much soda, the phosphorus can deplete your calcium levels,
causing twitching in the muscles around your eyes.
Cause #2: Stress When we feel stressed out and anxious, our
bodies release a hormone called cortisol.
Over time too much cortisol and stress makes your blood too alkaline (above the normal
Ph. range of 7.35-7.45).
This condition is called alkalosis and prevents calcium from reaching your muscles properly,
causing twitching and pressure on the nerves surrounding your eyes.
Cause #3: Low Magnesium Magnesium is extremely important mineral when
it comes to controlling muscles.
It works with calcium to relax your muscles after contracting them.
When your magnesium levels are low you can get muscle cramps, spasms and twitches.
This usually happens when you do not eat enough leafy green vegetables in the diet.
Treatment Options
Now that your understand the most common causes of eyelid twitches, we will share with you
5 natural remedies to cure them, and prevent this problem from returning.
Remedy 1: Apple Cider Vinegar Drink 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar,
mixed in a glass of water before each meal.
This helps to acidify the body and prevent alkalosis.
This frees up the calcium and magnesium in your blood, allowing it to reach the muscles
and stop the twitching fast.
You can also take 2-3 capsules if you do not like the taste.
Remedy 2: Take Magnesium Citrate Take a magnesium citrate supplement on a daily
basis.
Magnesium reduces stress, anxiety and cortisol in the body, in order to relax your muscles
and prevent alkalosis.
Taking this in a blend of other minerals can quickly stop eye twitching by helping the
small muscles to relax properly.
Remedy 3: Cut Out Caffeine & Soda As we mentioned earlier, soda contains phosphoric
acid which depletes your calcium, another mineral needed by your muscles.
Soda drinks also contain lots of caffeine which can trigger stress hormones like cortisol
and cause twitching.
Cut these out, along with coffee and tea and you will begin to relax, and the twitching
will cease.
Remedy 4: Eat Electrolyte Foods Start consuming more leafy green vegetables
like kale, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower and avocados.
We also recommend pumpkin seeds, almonds and sunflower seeds.
These foods are loaded with potassium and magnesium, two key electrolytes involved with
controlling your muscles and preventing twitches.
Remedy 5: Vitamin D Taking a Vitamin D3 supplement daily can help
to reduce stress hormones, and help you to relax.
It also helps calcium to reach your muscles to prevent twitching.
Taking long walks and exposing your skin to the sun, is also the best way to boost your
Vitamin D levels.
Summary
Twitching eyelids are caused by an electrolyte imbalance where minerals aren't reaching the
muscles, causing problems with contraction and relaxation.
Acidifying your stomach with apple cider vinegar helps to mobilise calcium, magnesium and potassium
into your muscles by improving the Ph. of the blood.
Consuming lots of leafy greens, vegetables and seeds is a great way to boost the minerals
in your body and prevent muscle spasms, twitches and cramps.
We also recommend getting regular exercise of at least 5 minutes per day.
This helps to boost blood flow around the body, so that that nutrients can get where
they need to be.
