Celebrity nutritionist Pooja Makhija shared a video on Instagram highlighting the benefits of adding magnesium supplements to your diet. She shared some ways magnesium can help combat nausea and other symptoms of pregnancy.
"Nausea with or without vomiting is very common during pregnancy. The increase of progesterone during pregnancy is the reason why your magnesium levels are falling," she said in the video.
Makhija further explained that low levels of magnesium are linked with hormones that can affect your tolerance to food and trigger nausea.
