Doctors claim that magnesium is involved in 360 metabolic processes. The mental state, the work of the heart and blood vessels, as well as the state of the thyroid gland and many other organs depend on its lack or excess. The trace element helps to cope with insomnia and headaches, relieves PMS, and reduces irritability. For an adult, the daily share of magnesium is 500 mg, for children under one year old - 50 mg, up to three years old - 100 mg, up to 8 years old - 200 mg. Children 9-14 years old need to take 300 mg of magnesium. You can get a trace element from wheat bran. They contain a huge amount of magnesium: 590 mg per 100 g of product. Nutritionists also recommend eating walnuts, pine nuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, flax, sunflower and sesame seeds, writes Volgogradskaya Pravda.ru. In addition, dark chocolate and cocoa powder are beneficial. It is worth adding buckwheat, dairy products, barley groats, oatmeal and brown rice to the diet. Among vegetables, magnesium is found in spinach and seaweed. Olesya Razygraeva. Photo: pixabay.com
