Magnesium

This is the most important mineral for good health since it caters to the efficient functioning of over 300 metabolic functions. It is good for the normal functioning of healthy bones, blood pressure and heart rhythm. It also makes muscles function well. Diabetics, however, have a low content of magnesium, which is due to low insulin production and increased insulin insensitivity. It is abundant in sunflower and pumpkin seeds, spinach, tuna, halibut, cashew nuts, almonds and oat bran. It can be taken in the form of pills, powder or liquid.
