A slight twitch in the corner of your eye, and you’re left wondering what’s going on. It’s neither painful nor dangerous, but annoying enough to get your attention. Is this subtle, often fleeting tremor really unimportant? What if it’s your body’s way of sending you a message? This phenomenon, called myokymia, never happens entirely by chance…
Stress: The Silent Enemy Behind This Tic
Imagine a string that’s too taut. If you pull on it too much, it ends up vibrating. This is a bit like what happens to your nerves when stress sets in. Daily pressures, mental strain, lack of rest… The body takes it all in, until it starts to react. And sometimes, this reaction manifests itself as a twitching eyelid.
The muscle responsible for blinking, the orbicularis oculi, becomes hypersensitive. Like a discreet but very real alarm bell. If this slight tremor recurs frequently, it might be time to slow down and give your mind a real break.
Lack of magnesium or potassium? Your diet may play a role
We sometimes forget that what we put on our plates can directly impact our nervous system. Magnesium or potassium deficiencies can cause muscle spasms, including in the eyelids.
Fortunately, there’s no need for complicated supplements. Just add more dried fruit (like almonds or walnuts), bananas, spinach, lentils… and even a square of dark chocolate. A real treat for the palate, and a boost for your nerves.
