According to population studies of average magnesium intake, there’s a good chance that you’re not.  Most people consume too little magnesium.

A woman above 19 years of age requires 310-320 mg/day.

Symptoms of poor magnesium intake can include muscle cramps, facial tics, poor sleep, and chronic pain.

Here’s a YUMMY recipe I found on Life.Spartan.com that is healthy, tasty and will add magnesium to your diet. (But you can’t have too much of it!)

Cacao’s most ample mineral is magnesium. A 1oz serving provides 16% of your daily value. Magnesium plays a role in maintaining heart health through blood pressure regulation and the regulation of the nervous system, which helps maintain normal heart rhythm.

Cacao also contains copper and iron. Copper helps with iron metabolism, while iron assists with red blood cell formation, helping the body maintain an adequate blood supply which helps the heart pump a little easier. So, a small amount of cacao nibs added to a balanced diet treats both the taste buds and the heart.
