Magnesium is an important mineral that helps keep our bodies strong. 💪 Without magnesium, your muscles can't move properly, and your nerves can't send and receive messages. Magnesium also keeps your heart rhythm steady, blood sugar levels balanced, and your joint cartilage healthy!

Foods that contain magnesium include:
🥬 Leafy-green vegetables like spinach, collard greens, and bok choy.
🍞 Whole grain breads or pasta, oatmeal, and quinoa.
🫘 Beans and nuts, this includes peanut butter and tofu.
🥑 Fruits like bananas, papaya and avocados.
