This £2 item is a game changer for your health
If you’re looking to combat anxiety, depression, or even manage diabetes, experts suggest adding a key ingredient to your daily diet. This essential element is magnesium, and it is available in supplement form for just £2 at Asda.
Here are some ways magnesium can improve your health:
- Converts food into energy
- Supports parathyroid glands for bone health
- May help manage diabetes, cardiovascular issues, and migraines
- Alleviates anxiety, stress, and depression
It’s important to consult with your GP before starting any supplement regimen, especially if you have existing health conditions.
The NHS recommends a daily magnesium intake of 300mg for men aged 19-64 and 270mg for women in the same age group. LloydsPharmacy suggests not exceeding 400mg per day to avoid potential side effects like diarrhea.
If you prefer getting magnesium from your diet, here are some magnesium-rich foods you can include:
- Whole grains (e.g. wholemeal bread)
- Leafy greens (e.g. spinach)
- Avocado
- Nuts (e.g. almonds, peanuts, cashews)
- Dark chocolate
- Quinoa
- Black beans
- Edamame
- Tofu
So, whether you choose to take supplements or adjust your diet, adding magnesium could be a simple and affordable way to boost your overall well-being.
