Magnesium – is an essential mineral required by the body for maintaining normal muscle and nerve function.

2: Foods High in Vitamins to support Healthy Muscle Function & prevent cramping

The great part about Eating Fresh Wholesome non-processed foods, these being and raw vegetables and fruit is that they nearly all contain calcium, magnesium and vitamin C.

Breakfast Early morning: First thing in morning have a Lemon or Grapefruit squeezed top up with a little warm water. = 22 mg

Bowl of Quinoa porridge topped with slivered almonds & 2 tablespoons or Greek Yogurt = approximately 200mg then Finish with a cup of Green or White tea. You can either have your black strap molasses in this or you can add it to your porridge. I prefer to have it with my porridge. Total mg count for breakfast = approximately 232 mg. Also with your lemon, grapefruit and if you include a -Freshly squeezed orange to have with your breakfast you have your Vitamin C intake

These Vegetables can be included in your lunch and dinner

1 x cup of Broccoli = 74 mg: 1 x cup Kale = 139mg: 1 x cup Spinach = 56mg Other dark green vegetables and salad greens make a great addition to your meals
Tinned sardines or salmon especially including bones. Freshly cooked fish is also packed with these essential nutrients.
For additional support use sesame oil, pinenuts in your green salads, vegetables not only do these add extra flavour but also are good sources of calcium
Roasted Almonds make a Great Snack for between meals and have 75 gm of calcium per serve. Total Calcium count of all these servings is 344 mg. It is also important for keeping a healthy immune system, maintaining heart rhythm, and building strong bones. So for your magnesium by eating the foods already mentioned for your calcium these will also have adequate amounts of magnesium for you. Other vegetables that come into play here are pumpkin, beans, avocado, figs, bananas and dark chocolate. Humans, unlike most animals, are unable to synthesize vitamin C endogenously, so it is an essential dietary component. This means that you must have it in your diet every day, you must also have it fresh and uncooked as vitamin C is depleted in the cooking process.
As you would be well aware by now if you have eaten or drunk your lemon, grapefruit or orange juice you have your vitamin C. Not to mention if you have squeezed in some fresh dark green vegetables or lettuces. Other wonderful fruits for this important antioxidant vitamin are cherries, berries and kiwi fruit.
