Modern diets and lifestyle choices contribute to magnesium deficiency. Common causes include:
- Processed foods & high dairy intake
- Alcohol consumption & aluminum exposure
- Age & medical conditions (e.g., Crohn’s disease, kidney issues)
Signs of Magnesium Deficiency
Low levels can cause:
- Muscle cramps, fatigue, insomnia
- Irregular heartbeat & high blood pressure
- Migraines, anxiety, confusion
How to Boost Magnesium Levels
- Eat magnesium-rich foods: Leafy greens, whole grains, nuts, seeds (chia, pumpkin), avocados, salmon, and tofu.
