Which foods are good sources of magnesium?

Magnesium-rich foods like green, leafy vegetables (such as spinach), beans, nuts, and whole grains will help you get there. Pumpkin seeds, soy milk, bananas, and dark chocolate (in moderation!) are also good sources.

Eating one serving of spinach, an ounce of almonds, and a banana provides 190 mg of magnesium. That’s nearly 60% of the daily recommendation for women and 45% for men. Fortunately, magnesium is found in many healthy foods, so a good diet (such as the Mediterranean diet) will usually provide all the magnesium that you need.
