Did you know that as much as 75% of the U.S. adult population does not meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Recommended Daily intake of magnesium?
There are so many benefits that come from supplementing magnesium in your diet. Many are menstrual cycle-related, and as someone who struggles with PCOS, I have had to advocate and find things to manage symptoms and find relief where I can. There are many symptoms we suffer from when hormones are out of balance around that time. If you suffered from severe PMS here are a few signs that you may need more Magnesium!
- Mood Swings
- Tender Breasts
- Fatigue
- Irritability
- Brain Fog
- Tingling in hands and/or feet
- Sugar Cravings
- Muscle Cramps
Here is a list of Foods that are high in Magnesium!
- Avocado
- Spinach
- Bananas
- Dark chocolate
- Almond
- Pumpkin seed
- Cashews
- Tofu
- Leafy greens
- Brown rice
- Yogurt
- Edamame
- Whole grain
- Quinoa
- Swiss chard
- Legume
- Seeds
- Salmon
- Peanuts
- Black beans

Although I do my best to add in where I can with my diet I do supplement with PURE Encapsulations Magnesium which is Gluten Free, Non-GMO, and Hypoallergenic. As always check with your physician before taking or introducing new supplements.
