  • Processed foods & high dairy intake
  • Alcohol consumption & aluminum exposure
  • Age & medical conditions (e.g., Crohn’s disease, kidney issues)

Low levels can cause:

  • Muscle cramps, fatigue, insomnia

How to Boost Magnesium Levels

  • Eat magnesium-rich foods: Leafy greens, whole grains, nuts, seeds (chia, pumpkin), avocados, salmon, and tofu.

If symptoms persist, consult a doctor for testing and personalized advice.
