10 Foods High In Magnesium
Foods High In Magnesium #8: Almonds
A handful of almonds a day, keeps the doctor away. Okay, maybe no one says that, but they should, considering the bioavailability of nutrients found in almonds. In terms of magnesium, 100 grams equates to 268 mg. Almonds are also rich in vitamin E, calcium, riboflavin, niacin, potassium, fiber, and protein.
The fiber, protein, and fat content of the nuts means a little goes a long way. Just 23 almonds, or one ounce, should be enough to keep you full and energized. The magnesium in almonds has shown to regulate blood sugar in a way that reduces food cravings. Although roasting removes some of the beneficial fats, raw or roasted almonds provide similar health benefits.
