Reminder to eat more green, leafy vegetables 🥬🥦

Hey, uhh I don't know what to send after the sleep course yet. In the meantime, 40% of us are deficient in magnesium. Here's how to overcome it.

Magnesium is at the center of a chlorophyll molecule. Chlorophyll is what gives plants their green color. So dark, leafy greens are high in magnesium. So, what does the 40% insufficiency [in the US] tell us? People aren't eating their greens. - Rhonda Patrick

Mg is involved in making ATP and activates enzymes that repair DNA. Without it, your body can't grow & recover. You can use supplements, but dark, leafy, green vegetables are better.

They have the magnesium and a bunch of other micronutrients like:

• Vitamin K1 (helps bones and blood clots)

• Calcium (helps bones, muscles, and blood flow)

• Sulforaphane (decreases inflammation and helps brain health)

You can try cabbage, kale, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, rocket leaves, chard, or romaine lettuce.

2 servings per day are enough. A serving is basically a chunk. You decide how much/little you want.

You can pass by the supermarket, add them to a plate/sandwich you already have, or ask the place you order food from to add a serving on the side. They won't judge and probs won't charge much.

You can cook them for some extra nutrients or eat them bland and raw as if you're in the jungle. Just add some salt so they don't taste as bad.

It's the cheapest and easiest way to get your daily required magnesium and micros for long-term health.

Eat 2 servings of green vegetables today.

Wanna run to the fridge or store right now to get it over with? Go for it ;)

Great job Reader!
