How can you get more magnesium in your diet?

Well, I’m glad you asked.  About 75% of people’s magnesium comes from foods, but the other 25% is lost in wastewater and in the air.  It’s hard to find detailed information, but one source I saw said it is estimated that it takes about 100 pounds of magnesium to make 1 pound of steel!  So magnesium is valuable and very useful, but it is pretty hard to find.  So it may be worth it to get magnesium supplements.

How might I get some more?

One way is to start eating more dark green vegetables.  So if you had a salad or a green smoothie for breakfast every day, you would be adding some magnesium to your diet.  Other sources of magnesium are nuts, fish, seeds, and pumpkin seeds.

I like salads, nuts and fish. That should be fairly easy then.

I’m glad you have the info you need!  And for your reference, the daily recommended amount of magnesium is 400mg for adults.
