Over half of the less than
two ounces of magnesium in a 130- pound person is in the bones.
Magnesium is critical to the operation of hundreds of enzymes and
directly affects the metabolism of potassium, calcium, and vitamin D. It
plays an integral role in nearly three hundred body functions. It aids in bone
growth, basic metabolic functions, and the functioning of nerves and muscles,
including the regulation of normal heart rhythm. Low intake has been linked to
high blood pressure, heart-rhythm abnormalities, and heart attack.
The food sources of
Magnesium are mainly Nuts,
legumes, whole grains, wheat bran, dark green vegetables, bananas, apricots, etc.
People whose drinking water
has a high magnesium content experience a lower incidence of sudden death from heart
attack. Magnesium is easily washed and peeled away from foods during
processing, so fresh or slightly processed foods are your best choices.

I eat lots of nuts and legumes, so don't worry about magnesium much, but sometimes when I travel it's amazing how bad my diet gets. I tend to pack nuts in my bag and sometimes they even make a quick meal like when dashing though an airport
Right, our body also need Magnesium.All that can be achieve by eating fresh fruits and veggies. Further, there are other natural cures in case you need one.
