As you know magnesium is so important for our energy production and the optimal functioning of so many organs. 

The top magnesium-rich foods are as follows: 

1. Green leafy vegetables (e.g. spinach, swiss chard and kale)

2. Fruit (figs, avocado, banana and raspberries)

a. Bananas may be better known for being rich in heart-healthy and bone-strengthening potassium, but a medium-size banana also provides 32 mg of magnesium, along with vitamin C and fibre.

 3. Nuts and seeds (with almonds and pumpkin seeds rating quite high)

 4. Legumes (black beans, chickpeas and kidney beans)

a. Baked beans rated high

 5. Vegetables (peas, broccoli, cabbage, green beans, artichokes, asparagus,      brussels sprouts)

 6. Seafood (salmon, mackerel, tuna)

 7. Whole grains (brown rice and oats)

 8. Raw cacao

 9. Dark Chocolate

10.  Tofu

11. Chlorella powder

12.  Spirulina powder
