Magnesium Rich Foods

With magnesium being such an important aspect of health, affecting every organ in the body, we thought it would be helpful to provide you with some food choices as a means of getting more magnesium.

Whenever possible, it is always more beneficial to the body to acquire necessary minerals and nutrients in their most natural form possible.  Magnesium is found in a variety of foods from virtually every food group.

Whole grains including Quinoa, Buckwheat, Wild Rice, Whole Wheat Pasta, Barley, Oats, Bulgur and Millet

Vegetables such as Avocado, Dark Leafy Greens, Green Beans

Other Legumes including Garbanzo, Pinto Beans, White Beans, Kidney Beans and Black-Eyed Peas

Nuts and Seeds such as Squash and Pumpkin Seeds, Peanuts, Brazil Nuts, Cashews, Almonds, Walnuts and Sesame seeds

Dairy products with yogurt and cheeses

Dried Fruits including Figs, Dates, Apricots and Raisins

Dark Chocolate – Yes! This is in a food group by itself.  Indulge in some dark chocolate and reap the benefits of getting magnesium…mmmm….mmmm!

As with many nutrients and minerals that our bodies need, it is not always easy getting sufficient amounts from foods, so if opting for supplementation without potential stomach upset, consider Magnesium Oil Spray.

Magnesium Oil Spray is easy to spray on and rub into the skin.  Quick Fact:  Even though it is called an oil, it is actually water soluble.  However, due to it’s highly concentrated properties, it can have an oily texture, which generally dissipates soon after application.  If you do experience a remaining oily residue, simply reduce the amount you apply next time.  Occasionally, individuals with sensitive skin may experience a tingling sensation which is harmless and can be alleviated by adding a moisturizer or aloe vera.

So, next time you’re grocery shopping, add some of these magnesium rich foods to your list.  Your body will thank you!
