Adding foods rich in magnesium to your daily diet can offer plenty of health benefits, with better sleep, stronger bones, and support for a healthy heart sitting among them.
Many people, especially recently, are extolling the virtues of this mineral for sleep but there are plenty of other benefits of magnesium to take advantage of. "Magnesium is needed for every cell in your body to function at its best and is a must for women throughout their lives, especially from the age of 35 onwards when they may start to go through perimenopause and menopause," says nutritionist Dr Naomi Newman-Beinart. "This is a time when symptoms such as stress, poor sleep, and low mood play a huge role in quality of life, and this is where magnesium can come into play."
