so I’ve been talking about the

importance of magnesium in other videos

but I wanted to create a video on what

foods are high in magnesium that are

also keto friendly so men need about 420

milligrams of magnesium every single day

women are a little less three hundred

and twenty milligrams of magnesium every

single day and there’s quite a few foods

that have a good amount of magnesium

that are not keto friendly so we’re not

gonna recommend it like fruit grain

potato beans legumes and even tofu but I

will say that if you are vegan and

you’re trying to do keto some tofu might

be okay as long as it’s organic but

generally speaking and not recommending

it I remember one time I went to Whole

Foods and I saw these little chicken

nuggets they look really good so I got

some and I started consuming them and

they just tasted very very strange and I

ate quite a bit of them and I started

getting really really sick well come to

find out they weren’t chicken they were

tofu chicken and didn’t like it too much

let’s go with number one pumpkin seeds

have a tremendous amount of magnesium a

hundred and fifty milligrams per ounce

that’s three tablespoons all right

number two spinach at a hundred and

fifty seven milligrams per cup now if

you’re a female you need three hundred

and twenty milligrams so you can see

that two cups of spinach will easily

give you that requirement okay and then

we have almonds at 80 milligrams per

ounce

so in salmon has about 53 milligrams and

if you wanted a visual of what that

would look like it would be about half

of a fillet and then you have chocolate

which has 64 milligrams per ounce okay

avocado 58 milligrams per medium-sized

avocado so you’d have to consume quite a

few avocados to reach your daily

requirements so again it’s not that high

but it’s higher than other foods okay

Swiss chard has 29 milligrams per cut

okay and then cashews have about 28

milligrams per ounce

so as I’m looking at this chart right

here it’s gonna be pretty easy to get

your magnesium if you’re doing spinach

or Swiss chard or other leafy greens

that I did not mention here you can also

do pumpkin seeds which seems to be

pretty easy so all you would have to do

is consume several ounces of pumpkin

seeds to get your daily amount of

magnesium but I wanted to give you a few

reference points on magnesium and how

difficult it is if you look at the foods

that have the most magnesium of any of

the foods and this explains why the

majority of the population just doesn’t

get enough magnesium nor potassium for

that matter they don’t consume enough

greens they’re probably not consuming

pumpkin seeds they might be consuming a

lot of chocolate but of course with the

sugar when I’m recommending chocolate

I’m recommending the sugar-free

chocolate and if you have not seen some

of my other videos on magnesium I put

them on the screen right here check them
