Magnesium is a vital nutrient that plays a key role in many of our body’s functions. Did you know that your chiropractor can help guide you on your nutrition, including your nutrient needs?
This amazing mineral is linked to stress reduction, improved mood, and stronger bones. Research is also exploring other potential health benefits of magnesium, making it an essential nutrient to pay attention to.
You can find magnesium in a variety of foods, including:
-
Leafy greens like spinach and kale
-
Beets and potatoes
-
Certain fruits
-
Nuts and legumes
-
Whole grains
Despite its availability in many foods, it can still be challenging to get enough magnesium. In fact, with the rise of processed foods in the typical diet, almost half of Americans do not meet their recommended magnesium intake.
If you have questions about your nutrition, want guidance on increasing your magnesium intake, or are curious about supplementation, our team is here to help! You can call our office or speak with us at your next appointment.
