Boost your magnesium

[littlemissmartypants]

Magnesium is a mineral found in most of the foods and beverages you consume on a daily basis. While having a magnesium deficiency is rare in healthy individuals, there are some circumstances that may require the use of a magnesium supplement. Nevertheless, most healthy people can naturally boost their magnesium levels through diet.

A diet doesn't require a complete overhaul to increase magnesium. Take a look at at these 14 ways to boost your magnesium levels. You may be surprised to learn about the foods and beverages that contain this mineral.
1. Stay hydrated. Did you know that every cup of water contains 2 mg of magnesium? While that's not nearly enough to make a significant impact in your daily intake of magnesium, every little boost counts. So drink up -- and remember, magnesium is also in the water you cook with.

2. Drink coffee. Many studies conclude that coffee may help to prevent several chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes and liver disease. Each cup of coffee contains 7 mg of magnesium. Drink one cup of coffee each day to boost your magnesium levels.

3. Enjoy leafy greens. Naturally boost your magnesium levels every time you eat half a cup serving of spinach. One serving of boiled spinach contains 78 mg of magnesium. Spinach is loaded with nutrients, especially the antioxidant carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin.

1. Interesting... as much yogurt, peanut butter, coffee, nuts and greens I eat, I should be good.

Though greens are harder in the winter time for me to keep eating.

2. I also take a supplement, "Calm," as needed.

It is essentially electrolytes. Helps with bad leg cramps after sweating (presumably sweating out magnesium!).

3. I had REALLY bad plantar fasciitis...

Nothing was working...exercises, stretches, shoes, rest, insoles, etc etc etc. Went on for months. Was on the verge of asking for surgery, which I had been avoiding. I was hobbling around the house like a 90 yr old. They hurt when I went to bed, they hurt when I got up. They hurt every hour in between.

I saw a brief mention on a video by a podiatrist about magnesium. I grabbed my wifes bottle of magnesium tablets and started taking 500 mg a day.

I kid you not, within a week I was walking normally. Within two weeks I was completely normal. At three weeks I quit taking the supplements, but ready to resume at the first sign of a flare up. That was over a year ago. Not a single issue yet.

I don't know...maybe things would have cleared up on its own, but things seemed to be getting worse. the magnesium seemed like a miracle cure to me.

4. Magnesium is an essential mineral for anyone suffering with migraines.

I eat tons of leafy greans and also take magnesium supplements.

5. Wow, I didn't know that.

I just got over one of the worst migraines I have had in a long while. I started eating cashews and avocados for the magnesium because it is supposed to help with sleep. Apparently it helped me with both because the headache finally went away. Still having intermittent problems with sleep though. But I am not giving up on the magnesium. I am not much of a leafy greens person but I am trying to eat more than I throw away. I have no appetite and have a swallowing problem so sometimes food is no fun. I'm beginning to think magnesium is a great thing the more I learn about it.

Thanks for your reply, fleur-de-lisa.
