Seeds, which include pumpkin, chia and flax seeds, have very high amounts of magnesium. Pumpkin seeds, in particular, are quite a good source of magnesium with 1-ounce serving having 150 mg. That’s already 37% of the recommended daily intake. Seeds are also high in iron, omega-3 fatty acids, and monounsaturated fat. Moreover, they are also high in fiber. Seeds also have antioxidants, protecting the body’s cells from harmful free radicals that occur during metabolism. Flaxseeds can also help lessen cholesterol while also helping fight breast cancer as well.
