7 Tips for Adding Magnesium to Your Diet

Seems like these days everything is "organic," "all natural," "zero fat," "low in calories" or "high in fiber." How do you know exactly what you specifically need for your diet? One very important element of a healthy, well-balanced diet is magnesium. The following is a seven-step guide on how to add more magnesium to your diet.

1. Obviously, the easiest, most convenient, and most accurate way to monitor your magnesium is to take supplements. http://www.drugsdepot.com/ has a great supplement, for a fair price.

2. Peanut butter! Even the most humble man knows how to make a good peanut butter sandwich!! Nuts are a great source of magnesium. If you hate peanut butter, try cashews, almonds, or even pecans!

3. Salad! Big, leafy salads! I know it's not always the funnest thing to eat, but spice it up with a good dressing, and you've got a bowl full of magnesium-rich greens!

4. Switch your cereal to Raisin Bran. Bran is rich in magnesium. Add two heaping scoops of raisins, and a pinch of sugar, and you've got a breakfast meal that not only tastes great, but is great for you!

5. If you're a meat eater, try switching from chicken and beef, to fish. Tuna, Walleye, and Halibut, are little floating chunks of magnesium, and if you're not morally opposed to eating them (like this writer), they don't taste too bad either.

6. Bean Burritos! Beans are a great source of magnesium, and who in the WORLD doesn't dig a big, fat, sweaty bean burrito? Finally, a worthy excuse to take your girlfriend/boyfriend to Taco Bell for the third time this week!

7. Grab your spit cup, it's time for some seeds!! Whether it's sunflower, pumpkin, or flax, most every seed you can find holds a little kernel of magnesium, just waiting to get gobbled up!

I've tried my best to keep things entertaining and interesting for you here in this guide, but honestly, your health is serious business. Taking care of yourself does NOT have to be boring though! Do your research and find what works before for you. Take away the fish, and this 7 part set of tips is the best thing possible to add magnesium into THIS writers diet.
