Foods High In Magnesium #5: Pumpkin Seeds
Pumpkin seeds are one of the best natural sources of magnesium and an overall nutritional powerhouse. On top of 262 mg of magnesium in 100 grams, pumpkin seeds contain zinc, omega 3, tryptophan, and copper. Zinc supports prostate health, cell growth, sleep, immunity, mood and insulin resistance.
Along with zinc, tryptophan is an amino acid that helps regulate sleep. Tryptophan converts serotonin into melatonin, also known as the sleep hormone. This process promotes a restful night’s sleep. Therefore, pumpkin seeds can be a great snack to help you relax and unwind before bed while giving your body some magnesium to keep your cells going.
