Any person periodically experiences some ailments. Sometimes it can be sudden dizziness, loss of balance, palpitations, or other, at first glance, minor physical and even mental conditions. Some may take them for the first symptoms of a disease and turn to a specialist who, without getting to the bottom of the cause of malaise, prescribes a medicine that, in turn, can cause other unpleasant symptoms. But if you try to identify the real reason why nails suddenly become brittle, or why a state of melancholy is often unreasonably (as it seems), a headache and a feeling of chronic fatigue, you can come to the only true conclusion that the body lacks magnesium.
Magnesium is not just a chemical element from the periodic table. This is one of the most important trace elements in the human body, which is part of the bone tissue along with calcium and phosphorus. Also, the magnesium content in food provides uninterrupted operation of the heart muscle. Lack of this element in the body can lead to impaired heartbeat and blood pressure, to cramps and muscle cramps, which is why it is important to know what foods containing magnesium should be on your table.
Often, a deficiency in the body of magnesium develops on the basis of stress, poor nutrition, intense mental activity, exhausting sports training, drinking alcohol and other factors that a person simply does not pay attention to.
That is why it is so important to know which foods contain a lot of magnesium. Undoubtedly, the largest amount of this mineral contains cocoa, but during the industrial processing of its grains, cocoa becomes a carcinogenic product, and it is not recommended to consume it in large quantities.
Products containing magnesium also include nuts, soy, beans, peas, and other siliculose. But it would not hurt to know that magnesium is contained in these products only if they are fresh. In canned peas, beans, corn, etc. almost all the mineral is contained in the fill, which is often simply foolishly poured into the sink. In fact, this liquid can be perfectly used for the preparation of various sauces, soups and dressings.
Also, a large amount of magnesium is found in poppy seeds. Therefore, a rich bun, which is useless in terms of the content of this microelement , can be very useful if it is well seasoned with poppy seeds. If baking is not suitable due to fear of spoiling the figure, then you should pay attention to products containing magnesium, such as rye or bran bread, buckwheat, pearl barley, semolina or millet, watermelon, spinach, oatmeal.
Meat products containing magnesium are primarily ham and liver, followed by rabbit, then veal and pork. The mineral can be contained even in sausages, but only if they are made in compliance with all technologies and rules. Such gastronomic delights include amateur and tea sausages, as well as sausages. And lovers of sweets can well treat themselves to good chocolate, because its main composition is cocoa, which, as you already know, contains magnesium.
If we talk about how much magnesium should be consumed per day, everything is individual here. But on average, the human body needs at least 300 mg of mineral daily. If there is no possibility or desire to regularly use products containing magnesium, or if the body needs this useful trace element in a shorter time, you can replace the products with powder or tablets. Typically, such preparations also contain calcium, which positively affects the condition of the skin, the quality of hair and nails.
