After adding all my foods to cronometer today I realized that my magnesium intake was pretty low, 120mg.
My job as a firefighter can be fairly stressful at times and I rarely sleep through the night at home or work.
I've heard that Peat says that coffee is high in magnesium but it doesn't seem to be according to cronometer nor do leafy greens seem to be very high.
I have been eating a lot more sugar lately to try and increase metabolism and typically this causes my mid back muscles to spasm. Someone on the FB group suggested that I probably need more magnesium and I can see now that I do.
So how can I get more from foods?
I can't do dairy at the moment because it seems to increase nasal inflamation.
I do epsom salt baths 4 or 5 times a week with about 3lbs of epsom salt per bath.
But I can't take a bath at work.
I do dark chocolate sometimes but it's pretty high in fat
