Different types of Magnesium, facts on Magnesium absorption, and Magnesium food sources; you NEED to know this The health benefits of magnesium are undeniable, and the large majority of the population is deficient in this important nutrient. But making sure one is getting enough of it can be challenging. A lot of people might not know this. I didn’t. But there are in fact many kinds of magnesium and each seems to be more effective against particular ailments or provides a peculiar benefit. So it is important to understand the different types before determining the best form of magnesium for you and factoring in absorption rates is a helpful tool in making your decision. Here is a list of different forms of magnesium and facts you ought to consider before deciding which is the best form of magnesium for you:
- Magnesium from food sources: In the subject of absorption, the quickest and easiest way to maintain proper magnesium levels is eating it. In most cases, natural food is the best form of magnesium. Here is a list of foods that are high in magnesium: Vegetables and fruits
- Banana: Only 1 banana provides 32mg of magnesium. - Blackberries: 1 cup of fresh blackberries provides 29mg of magnesium. - Passion Fruit: Provides 29mg of magnesium per serving and a serving size is a medium sized fruit.- Raspberries: 1 cup of fresh raspberries provides 27mg of magnesium. - Avocado: Only a 1 ounce serving of avocado provides 8mg of magnesium. A whole avocado provides nearly 30mg. - Watermelon: 1 cup of cubed watermelon provides 15mg of magnesium. - Cooked Cabbage: Provides 12mg of magnesium in a 1 cup serving. Seeds and nuts
Beans
- Navy, Pinto, Lima, and Kidney Beans: 1 cup provides at least 20 to 25% of the recommended amount of magnesium each day.Fish
Herbs
- Chives, sage, basil, spearmint and savory: Provide at least 10mg per tablespoon.Other foods
- Calcium: There must be a proper balance between magnesium and calcium because are both fighting for absorption rights. Having too much calcium can restrict magnesium absorption and keep it low. This is why proper nutrient balance is so important.- Magnesium chloride can be applied to the skin.- Vitamins: Not having enough magnesium can disturb your vitamin stores, meaning that the absorption of not only your magnesium, but all of your other vital nutrients can be upset.- Spacing out dosages: Spacing out the dosage of whichever form of magnesium is chosen is fine. It will minimize side effects and the same quantity taken over a long period of time instead of all at once will increase absorption and reduce potential discomfort.

"Fleur de Sel (as a particularly noble variant) is considered by many consumers to be particularly valuable and tasty. It is produced as a very thin layer of salt on the surface of the water and is usually skimmed off by hand with a wooden scoop." - adalhelm

A lot people also think they are eating healthy natural salt by eating sea salt.
But here's the problem . . . the seas are polluted by plastic waste.
Therefore, because of this polluted ecological environment of ours in our modern time, there is in sea salt something termed "microplastic," plastic particles that have been rubbed on stone by the sea movement, stones so small they are barely recognizable.
"There are a lot of microplastics in Fleur de Sel. In a random sample, Markt (a German documentary show) and the Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment (ICBM) examined five of the most popular Fleur de Sel varieties in the laboratory for residues of plastics.

I am in agreement with adalhelm when he says that these microplastics are dangerous for our health, pointing out that a great deal of plastics contain estrogen-like ingredients that can negatively affect hormone balance, several ingredients in the plastic when consumed are carcinogenic, and that the microplastic can bind other toxins such as from from insecticides, dyes, and organic chlorine compounds, and also that such toxins can accumulate in the body.
And likewise do not agree with the excuses of the manufacturers that no action is required because average salt consumption is quite low, but agree it is best to abstain and instead use rock salt, which is where most of my salt comes from already anyway because how healthy and nutritionally beneficial it is.
Currently there are no limits for plastic particles in food, but if a great many people become aware of this and continue to raise more awareness and all of these people abstain from these products, manufacturers will be forced to take action themselves and find new technological advancements to purify their salt or otherwise go out of business. And I was the salt to be purified of bad unnatural toxins but not stripped of all of its good natural nutrients. So it is up to us to put the pressure on and make changes if we want to see greater change for the better.
Hopefully we can also see something positive and effective done about the pollution in our waters in the near future before things get too much worse.

Being heavier clearly gives one an advantage to lift heavy weights outside of someone's own body weight even if their weight is fat, because it grounds you more onto the ground with the weight. A huge 300 lb.er will have a stabler base to press 200 lbs. overhead from versus a 150 lb.er.
Someone else:
But if said 150lbs guy can press 200lbs overhead he is technically twice as strong, pound for pound, theoretically that is, in reality it most certainly does not work out like that lol
Someone else 2:
The reality is it doesn’t work that way except for in the SHW class. Within weight classes, competitions want to come in as lean as they reasonably can, because the more muscle they have, the more they’re going to lift. Muscles contract, fat doesn’t. Between two evenly proportioned athletes weighing the same, the more muscular one will outlift the other, every single time.
Me:
I'm not talking about evenly proportioned athletes. I'm talking about more body weight total regardless of what it is, fat or muscle, helps one get a leverage on external loads. If you have two guys who are both the same advanced lifters, same trained CNS, same muscle mass, but the one guy is quite a bit heavier because he has a bunch of extra fat weight, he will have a major advantage over the leaner guy because he's heavier. In calisthenics the leaner guy would whoop him because of internal load, moving the body through space versus moving external objects through space; especially in the bench, deadlift, overhead press, pushing against an object, or pulling a sled, etc. In the squat it might be harder for the heavier guy because he is moving his whole body through space and so he has a bunch of extra weight to lift, but even then, this might be the case but the opposite could just as well happen, since it is only a bilateral movement which has a foundation with a bunch of weight to rest on, and a heavier foundation will still be more stable, so even here... If it was more of a unilateral thing then it might be different since it requires so much balance and bigger heavier things need more balance. If you want to test this, go get two equally strong guys, one way heavier because he's fat and put them on the lat pull down with the whole stack. The one guy may have a hard time staying seated because the weight wants to lift him up but the heavy fat guy will pull the stack down with his weight, helping him lift it. Same if you push a heavy wagon. Look at that Kyriakos Grizzly fat lifter guy on YouTube. He does this thing where he pushes this heavy object without wheels across a room. It is very hard. If you had the same strength as him but you were way lighter than him, he would whoop you in a competition in seeing who could push that easier. Same if you were to try pulling a truck. And he would be able to overhead press with less wobbliness than you. I've experienced this myself by paying attention when I got lean and when I got fat, even though my muscle mass was the same.

GET DIRT CHEAP BUT VERY HIGH QUALITY, LONG LASTING RESISTANCE BANDS HERE:
If you enjoy this blog, PLEASE support it by purchasing your resistance bands from the image link above every time you want to buy some. I would greatly appreciate it. Resistance bands are a definitely great and legitimate way to get resistance for strength training and bodybuilding, and in many ways are actually superior. And you do not need that many (cost efficient) if you know how to use them properly to make them challenging with less bands needed. I personally use them for isolation work and weight calisthenics.
