Magnesium is a very important mineral that has been found to be radically deficient in people’s diets, and therefore, their bodies. Since magnesium is critical in a number of important bodily functions like proper muscle function and triggering over 800 enzymatic actions, it’s very important to understand common food sources of this ’miracle mineral'. This is 5 of them.

Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds should be enjoyed more often not only due to their great magnesium content, but for all their other nutrients and benefits as well.

Pumpkin seeds contain about 535mg of magnesium per 100g serving, which is 134 percent of the daily recommended intake. Adding a full spectrum sea salt to your pumpkin seeds will increase the magnesium content even further.
