Studies indicate if you eat a diet high in magnesium, it will lower your risk of significant health problems, like heart disease. People who do not consume enough magnesium have a greater risk of a variety of health problems like diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers have found that magnesium plays a key role in health.
Key Takeaways:
- A diet rich in magnesium – found in foods like leafy greens, fish, nuts and whole grains – may help lower the risk of chronic health problems like heart disease and diabetes, a research review suggests.
- Fang and colleagues analyzed data on dietary magnesium and chronic disease from 40 studies published from 1999 to 2016 on more than one million people across nine countries.
- Compared with people who had the lowest levels of magnesium in their diets, people who got the most magnesium were 10 percent less likely to develop heart disease, 12 percent less likely to have a stroke and 26 percent less likely to develop diabetes.
