One of the many supplements that I’ve taken on and off has been magnesium. Lately, I’ve seen more and more info in the news about it but what they fail to mention is where you can get it in food.
As a child, my mom always tried to get me to eat my almonds either dry or peeling the skin off after wetting them. I would grudgingly eat them at the time. She would say eating it, it would make you smarter so I did. Today, I grab almonds on my own due to this early enforcement but as I became part of the nutraceutical industry, I truly realized the benefits of these magical almonds. But before we get into that, let’s learn about what almonds have to do with magnesium.
Typically, magnesium can be found in pumpkin seeds in high amounts but how many of us actually eat that daily? There are many other for sources like spinach and almonds but neither is something that most Americans seek when grocery shopping so magnesium supplements are a great alternative but do your research before taking it or ask your doctor if they know about the best one for you. Meanwhile, check out this link for food sources with high magnesium contents. Top 10 magnesium food sources
On the next post, I’ll talk about the magnesium supplement that I take and the benefits that I have noticed since I started taking it. Plus, we will also discuss which type of magnesium is best, if there is one!
