🧠Want better brain health?
A new study of more than 6000 healthy adults in the United Kingdom found that those who consumed more magnesium had healthier brains.
How much magnesium?
By the age of 55, people who consumed more than 550 mg per day had a brain age approximately one year younger than those who consumed 350 mg.
🤯Wow 🤯
Magnesium is one of my favorite nutrients—good for sleep, blood sugar control, metabolism, stress, anxiety, and more.
Here are some great food sources:
🥬 Green leafy vegetables (like Swiss chard & collards)
🥜 Nuts & Seeds (like pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, almonds, & cashews)
🥣 Whole Grains (like brown rice & quinoa)
🥑 Avocados
🥕 Root Vegetables (like sweet potatoes & beets)
If you don’t eat enough magnesium-rich foods, supplementing is a good option. Just look for the chelated forms like magnesium citrate or glycinate, which are better absorbed. And always check with your doctor if you take any medications before supplementing.
