Magnesium sources
Spices, nuts, cereals, coffee, cocoa, tea, and vegetables are rich sources
of magnesium. Deep green leafy vegetables such as spinach & kale are
also rich in magnesium as they contain chlorophyll which contains
magnesium.
Magnesium is lacking in refined processed foods that make up
the majority of what is found in the grocery store, but there are many
good sources in whole natural foods.
http://www.arltma.com/MagnesiumInfo.htm - note that good sources are somewhat limited, which is why magnesium deficiency is quite common.
Cacao Powder - The #1 source of magnesium in any food - Watch how low temp cacao beans are processed here - sources: Sunfood and LiveSuperfoods
Water - Magnesium, Drinking Water & Health - water should be a significant source of magnesium, but purified water is not. See Water Issues.
Magnesium is very helpful for correcting constipation. If you get too much magnesium you may have loose stools - just cut back on your sources of magnesium until you have soft, formed stools daily.
