Consuming healthful levels of magnesium has been linked to disease prevention, reducing the risks of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. While it is estimated that many Americans are magnesium deficient, supplementation with magnesium is discouraged without advice from a health care provider.

- Nuts, grains and legumes are easy ways to get the essential nutrient from foods.
- Food sources are best, because supplements can inhibit drugs and potentially have adverse reactions.
