A new study of more than 6000 healthy adults in the United Kingdom found that those who consumed more *MAGNESIUM* had healthier brains.
How much magnesium?
By the age of 55, people who consumed more than 550 mg per day had a brain age approximately one year younger than those who consumed 350 mg.
🤯Wow 🤯
Magnesium is one of my favorite nutrients—good for sleep, blood sugar control, metabolism, stress, anxiety, and more.
Here are some great food sources:
🥬 Green leafy vegetables (like Swiss chard & collards)
🥜 Nuts & Seeds (like pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, almonds, & cashews)
🥣 Whole Grains (like brown rice & quinoa)
🥑 Avocados
Magnesium can also be taken as a supplement, which I like to do at night because of its calming effect on the nervous system.
