Magnesium

Magnesium (Mg) , a micronutrient in our diet, plays key role in bone metabolism. Deficiency of Mg leads to bone loss and reduced absorption of calcium in the intestines .As Mg is a cofactor for many enzymes, its deficiency also leads to adverse effects on blood glucose levels. As Mg helps in maintaining nervous system balance, low levels have been linked with  depression .

Making your diets rich in green leafy vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds —would be the best way to limit your risk of having magnesium deficiency.
How about including at least one seasonal , winter green leafy vegetable in your diet daily ( Options- Sarso saag/ methi roti/ spinach daal/ coriander chutney etc) ?
