5. Pumpkin seeds
A study published in the Journal Stroke assessed data from over 14,000 people and found that consuming more magnesium-rich foods can minimize stroke risk by 22 percent. And taking into consideration that just two tablespoons of pumpkin seeds will get you about 18 percent of your 500-milligram recommendation, you should definitely add some pumpkin seeds into a large salad bowl.
However, if you aren’t a fan of pumpkin seeds, pumpkin itself has impressive health benefits too such as boosting immunity and protecting your eyesight. Other great sources of magnesium are barley, buckwheat, spinach, and black beans.
