March 5, 2009
Make magnesium an important part of your diet.
Why?
If you don't get enough magnesium (500 mg daily) you are going to suffer from chocolate cravings (since cocoa and chocolate are rich magnesium sources). Low magnesium also means you are:
Going to feel foul. It worsens PMS symptoms and cramps.
Leads to osteoporosis
Linked to kidney stones (it will allow thick deposits of calcium to deposit where we do not want it, like the kidney and take it away from where we want it, the bones).
Causes heart problems, high BP, diabetes, strokes -- scourges of Indian women world over.
Causes 'restless leg syndrome', muscle spasms.
Attention deficit, depression and other nerve-related ailments.
Irritable bowel syndrome, vomiting.
May cause early menopause and worsens normal menopausal symptoms.
Linked to infertility and other issues of the uro-genital system.
Poor nail growth.
Causes fast heart beats, leading to anxiety and panic attacks.
Foods rich in magnesium:
Tofu, legumes, whole grains, green leafy vegetables, wheat bran, soybean flour, almonds, cashews, blackstrap molasses, pumpkin and squash seeds, pistachio, walnuts, peanuts, whole wheat flour, oat flour, beet greens, spinach, bran cereals, oatmeal, bananas, and baked potatoes (with skin) and most herbs and spices.
