(RealAge.com) Green beans, broccoli, squash . . . eke out a little extra get-through-the-day energy from them with this topper: toasted sesame seeds.
These nutty little seeds are loaded with magnesium -- a mineral that cells need in order to convert food to energy, according to Dr. Maoshing Ni, author of Second Spring. Add the seeds to bread, cookie, and muffin batters, too, for extra magnesium and a delicate crunch…
Other magnesium-rich items that should make more appearances: whole grains, dark leafy greens, pumpkin seeds, cashews, and Brazil nuts. Or, if you're not the nuts-and-seeds type, take a supplement instead…
Besides helping your body turn food into energy, magnesium helps strengthen your bones and keeps your heart, nerves, muscles, and immune system functioning well.
