Magnesium is found in green rocks and plants tend to be green because the pigment/protein (chlorophyll) involved in photosynthesis uses magnesium in a way similar to iron in hemoglobin. (Chemistry for Biologists, Inorganic Ions, rsc.org). Magnesium is important in human biology for many other enzymatic reactions and in cellular membrane transport. (Symptoms of magnesium deficiency and food or supplement sources.)

Green the color of life reminded me of college days when I started noticing how much nature could brighten stressful routines. I remember keeping a small plant near my desk and feeling calmer whenever new leaves appeared. Now, as a PhD student, I work part time at Affordable Assignments. During my college days, I struggled academically, which inspired me to help others. That experience taught me patience when do my online exam felt tempting during stressful deadlines and busy weeks. Really enjoyed reading this. It’s refreshing to see such an honest perspective shared openly.😀
