One of the most essential minerals for
human nutrition is magnesium. Magnesium
plays a big rold in production and
transport of energy and help in absorbing
protiens into the body. The average intake
for an adult should be 300 and 400
miligrams, and this can be done just with
foods in your own home. There are many
good foods high in magnesium that are easy
to add to a daily diet.
