Magnesium is one of seven essential macrominerals, and is very important for our overall health. Studies indicate that American adults average only 66% of the recommended daily allowance, making us chronically deficient in this incredibly helpful mineral. The use of pesticides in our crop, the excess of processes foods, the removal of essential minerals from municipal water, and the topsoil depletion due to monoculture farming are just some contributing factors.

Foods high in magnesium: Avocado, swiss chard, cacao, cashews, chia, pumpkin, sesame and sunflower seeds, quinoa, black and navy beans, tempeh, almonds, buckwheat, Brazil nuts, dulse, filberts, millet, pecans, walnuts, rye, brown rice, figs, dates, collard greens, dandelion greens and garlic and chlorella.
