Other foods that are good sources of magnesium:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Fruits or vegetables (such as bananas, dried apricots, and avocados)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Nuts (such as almonds and cashews)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Peas and beans (legumes), seeds<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Soy products (such as soy flour and tofu)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Whole grains (such as brown rice and millet)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #000000;\"> Cut the cola.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Most dark colored sodas contain phosphates. Phosphates find magnesium in your digestive tract and bind it making it unavailable to your body.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>So even if you eat a wonderful meal rich in magnesium, if you wash it down with a cola your body will never receive the magnesium.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #000000;\"> Slash stress<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #000000;\">The hormones released when we are under stress have been shown to decrease magnesium.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Even mild stress such as driving in traffic, getting through a day of emails, meetings or home management with children is enough to decrease our magnesium.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p11\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #000000;\"> Take a Supplement<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p12\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #000000;\">The most absorbable forms of oral magnesium are citrate, glycinate taurate and aspartate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p12\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #000000;\">The side effect of too much magnesium is diarrhea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p11\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #000000;\"> Soak in Magnesium<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p11\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #000000;\">My very favorite way to get magnesium into the body is topically.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Epsom salts are Magnesium sulphate and are wonderful as a bath or foot soak in the evenings.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Topical magnesium has been shown to be extremely absorbable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p11\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #000000;\">All of us can benefit from this miracle mineral
