Magnesium is an essential mineral required by the body for maintaining normal muscle and nerve function, keeping a healthy immune system, maintaining heart rhythm, and building strong bones. Magnesium is also involved in at least 300 biochemical reactions in the body. A deficiency in magnesium can lead to muscle spasms, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, anxiety disorders, migraines, osteoporosis, and cerebral infarction. Conversely, consuming too much magnesium typically causes diarrhea as the body attempts to excrete the excess. The current DV for magnesium is 400mg.\u00a0Below is a list of high magnesium foods, for more, see the lists of\u00a0high magnesium foods by nutrient density<\/a>,\u00a0magnesium rich foods<\/a>,\u00a0vegetables high in magnesium<\/a>, and\u00a0fruits high in magnesium<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n
