According to a new study from the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center in North Dakota, taking magnesium supplements reduces inflammation and improves sleep quality. In the study, 100 adults with a history of poor sleep quality were given either 320 miligrams/day of magnesium or placebos. Before the study began, all participants' dietary intake, BMI, and blood and urine values were assessed. Results showed that 60% of the participants were magnesium deficient and experiencing inflammatory conditions. For those who were low in magnesium at the beginning of the study, supplementation increased blood magnesium levels, decreased inflammation, and improved sleep quality.
Some magnesium-rich foods to add to your diet:
Halibut
Spinach
Nuts
Peanut butter
Brown rice
Lentils
Avocado
Kidney Beans
