Inflammation

Food Sources of Magnesium:

Magnesium is an essential mineral. It is involved in more than 300 essential metabolic reactions. Studies show dietary magnesium intake is inversely associated with levels of CRP (C-reactive protein), a cardiovascular and general marker of inflammation. A U.S. national survey found American adults who consumed less than the RDA (recommended dietary allowance) of magnesium were 1.48 to 1.75 times more likely to have elevated CRP levels compared to those who consumed at least the RDA. This survey found that 68% of the sample consumed less than the RDA of magnesium. To calculate your own RDA / RDI, click the calculator icon below with the USDA’s interactive tool. [1] [2] [3]
