Foods High in Magnesium

March 24, 2009

Magnesium is a mineral that is necessary for maintaining good health.  It is the fourth most plentiful mineral that the body has.  Magnesium is directly related to how the metabolism functions.  Most of the body’s magnesium is found in the bones, teeth and red blood cells.  The remaining magnesium that the body stores is found in body tissue and organs.  There is also some magnesium found in the blood stream.  Any excess magnesium in the body is removed from the body in the form of urine and feces.  Following is a list of foods that provide the daily dietary recommendation of magnesium for the body.

Magnesium is found in most beans, green vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and fish.  You can get your magnesium from black beans, broad beans, kidney beans, lima beans, navy beans, soy beans, and white beans.  Whole grains such as barley, brown rice, buckwheat flour, bulgur wheat, oat bran, whole grain cereal, whole wheat bread, and whole grain cornmeal are also great sources of magnesium.  Vegetables such as artichokes, beet greens, broccoli, cowpeas, okra, sweet potatoes, and spinach provide the body with magnesium.

Nuts and seeds offer a high level of magnesium.  Try snacking on Brazil nuts, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, and squash seeds.  Fish and seafood have high levels of magnesium as well.  Try eating halibut, oysters, rockfish, and scallops.  Magnesium can also be found in fruits such as plantains.  You can also get your magnesium from dairy products such as milk and yogurt, as well as soy products such as soy milk and tofu.
