Even if you eat a proper diet and exercise daily, you might experience fatigue and weakness from time to time. A deficiency in magnesium, a nutrient that the body needs the most, often causes such health problems. Fatigue and weakness are common symptoms of this.

Magnesium plays an important role in maintaining the health of muscles and bones. Symptoms such as loss of appetite, irregular heartbeat, weak bones, chronic headaches, migraines, nausea, and vomiting can also be caused by magnesium deficiency.

A decrease in the amount of magnesium in the body can increase menstrual pain in women. A lack of magnesium can lead to increased muscle tension during menstruation. If you experience menstrual pain that is more severe than usual, it is a good idea to consult a doctor. Numbness in the limbs is also a sign of a decrease in magnesium in the body. A decrease in magnesium levels can increase blood pressure and affect heart health. A decrease in magnesium also affects mental health. This can lead to depression and anxiety.

Spinach, pumpkin seeds, bananas, red rice, yoghurt, sesame seeds, nuts, flax seeds, legumes, dark chocolate, chia seeds, avocados, etc. are rich in magnesium. Including these in your diet will help increase magnesium.
