Magnesium is essential for strong bones, blood sugar regulation, and nerve and muscle function. It is found in legumes, dark green leafy vegetables, seeds, nuts, whole grains, fortified cereals, fish, beef and poultry.
Also, cravings for chocolate can indicate a magnesium deficiency, according to Mark Gilbert, a nutritionist at The 1:1 Diet by Cambridge Weight Plan.
Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is one of the foods containing magnesium. This is because there is a lot of cocoa in chocolate. And the darker the chocolate, the more magnesium it contains.
With a large bar of dark chocolate, you can meet more than 70% of your daily magnesium needs. But still this delicacy should be eaten in moderation because of its calorie content.
