Fortunately, there are quite a few foods in which magnesium is found naturally. It can be found in a variety of green vegetables and leafy greens such as spinach, broccoli, zucchini and pumpkin. Also, it is also found in whole grains found in their husks such as wheat germ, whole wheat bread, wheat bran, buckwheat, bulgur, brown rice and oats when they are not cooked, in addition, it can also be found in a wide variety of legumes such as dry soybeans, beans Dry white beans, dry peas and dry chickpeas.

Those who are at high risk of suffering from a deficiency of this mineral are the older population, i.e. the elderly, type 2 diabetics, alcoholics and patients with diseases of the digestive system.
The elderly population is more likely to suffer from a deficiency because they consume a lot of medications that affect the absorption of magnesium in their bodies. Also, they take diuretics which cause it to evaporate in the urine. In addition, it can be noted that the Israelis may suffer from lower levels of magnesium in their bodies because Israel is a very hot country and magnesium tends to evaporate in sweat as well. In addition to this, his small country is among the countries where stress levels are among the highest, and unfortunately, stress and pressure over time also cause magnesium to not be absorbed properly due to the increase in adrenaline levels.

Yes, but when taken as supplements or medicines. Magnesium that is consumed by natural foods does not cause any harm to the body, because our kidneys excrete the excess.

You don't need a doctor's prescription and it costs only NIS 50 for 50 pills
What is the desired dose of the nutritional supplement if I consume a lot of green vegetables?
My age is over 80
Dosage is about 500 mg per day
but!!!
First, make sure you really don't need it, because if you don't just take a pity on the money and excess at your age, I would be very careful
The safest bet is to turn to a neurotist who will diagnose you professionally and give you the right recommendation
As you notice I refrain from giving answers because I don't know you and it is unprofessional and unsafe
How do you know how much magnesium you should take as a food supplement in pills for a week? Thanks
Go to the family doctor for a referral for a blood test .. and he will tell you
Does water have anything to do with magnesium evaporation?
Hello, is it true that tonic water causes muscle relaxation. What is the potassium called in blood tests? And what level should it be? And how much is it allowed to drink? Thank you for the answer
Dangerously inaccurate. Excess magnesium can cause heart failure.
There is a problem with the fruits and vegetables in our country that are irrigated with effluent water that originally originates from water treatment. Since all the water in our country lacks magnesium, the soils are also depleted of this mineral, and it is not possible to rely on its supply from Israeli agricultural products.
Fruits and vegetables are not watered with running water
Very interesting article.
I would like to know the amount consumed in the third age through food supplements.
Thanks
Nice to meet you
