Ok… Magnesium 101 📝
This little mineral is like the behind-the-scenes crew at a big show - you don’t see it, but without it, nothing runs smoothly.
It’s involved in over 300 processes in your body - from keeping your muscles working properly, to calming your nervous system, to supporting sleep, energy, hormone balance, and even blood sugar control.
The problem? Most of us don’t get enough. Stress, processed foods, too much coffee, and certain meds can all lower your levels.
Solution? Eat magnesium-rich foods every single day.
Here are 10 tasty ways to get more magnesium:
🥬 Spinach – leafy green powerhouse.
🌰 Almonds – easy snack, also great in porridge.
🥑 Avocado – creamy and full of healthy fats.
🍫 Dark chocolate (85%+) – yes, really.
🐟 Salmon – plus a boost of omega-3s.
🍌 Bananas – portable, sweet energy boost.
🌱 Pumpkin seeds – sprinkle on salads or yogurt.
🥦 Broccoli – nutrient-dense and versatile.
🥜 Cashews – rich and satisfying.
🍠 Sweet potato – magnesium plus fibre and beta-carotene.
