In this video, we’re going to talk about magnesium and its benefits, but first, let’s take a look at 7 of the top magnesium-rich foods.
1. Pumpkin seeds
2. Spinach
3. Swiss chard
4. Almonds
5. Avocado
6. Leafy greens
7. Dark chocolate (sugar-free)
There are various reasons why someone might be deficient in magnesium. Low stomach acid inhibits the absorption of magnesium, which can lead to deficiency. Taking antacids for things like GERD or acid reflux further depletes stomach acid.
Too much calcium can deplete magnesium reserves and low vegetable consumption also contributes to magnesium deficiency.
Most of the body’s magnesium is stored in the bone, so it’s very difficult to accurately detect magnesium levels through a blood test.
Magnesium has several important functions in the body including the following:
•Necessary for strong bones
•Involved in enzyme activation
•Produces energy for the body
•Decreases stress
•Important for nerve and muscle physiology
•Decreases muscle cramps
•Lowers blood pressure
•Improves sleep quality
Although there are magnesium supplements available, it’s best to consume magnesium-rich foods to ensure the proper ratio of minerals.
